How Our Online Prescription Process Works
Orlistat vs Ozempic: Key Differences
While both orlistat and Ozempic are prescription weight management medications, they work through completely different mechanisms. Orlistat acts locally in your digestive system, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body. Ozempic (semaglutide) is an injectable medication that affects appetite signals in your brain and slows stomach emptying.
Orlistat is available as capsules taken three times daily with meals containing fat, while Ozempic requires weekly injections. Both require clinical assessment and prescription by a qualified healthcare professional. Our online consultation process makes accessing orlistat straightforward without needing a face-to-face GP appointment.
Simple 3-Step Online Prescription Process
Getting your orlistat prescription online through EverydayMeds is straightforward. First, complete our comprehensive online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Our UK-licensed prescriber then reviews your information to assess whether orlistat is clinically appropriate for your circumstances.
Following prescriber approval, your medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched with next day delivery available. The prescription is included in the price - no separate GP fees or waiting times. Start your assessment today to access regulated orlistat supply.
Orlistat Options and Pricing
We offer three orlistat options to suit different needs and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg is the most cost-effective choice at £29.69 for a 4-week supply (84 capsules) with code EDM10. Branded Xenical 120mg contains the same active ingredient and dose for £38.69 per 4-week supply with EDM10. Both require prescription following online consultation.
For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg provides half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat. A 4-week supply (42 capsules) costs £26.09 with EDM10. All options include 10% off every order with code EDM10 for new and returning customers.
Clinical Assessment and Suitability
Orlistat 120mg may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30kg/m² or above, or BMI 28kg/m² or above with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Suitability is determined through individual clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers who review your medical history and current circumstances.
The medication must be used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity. Orlistat works best when meals contain no more than approximately 15g fat each to minimise gastrointestinal side effects. Our prescribers provide comprehensive guidance on dietary recommendations during your consultation.
