Why Choose Private Prescription for Weight Loss Treatment?
Private vs NHS Route - Faster Access to Treatment
While both orlistat and semaglutide may be available through the NHS, private prescription offers significant advantages. Skip lengthy waiting lists, avoid repeated GP appointments, and access treatment within 24 hours of your online consultation. Our GPhC-registered pharmacy provides the same clinical standards as NHS services, with qualified UK-licensed prescribers reviewing every consultation.
Orlistat Private Prescription - Multiple Options Available
We offer three orlistat options through private prescription. Generic orlistat 120mg provides excellent value at £29.69 for a 4-week supply (with EDM10), while branded Xenical 120mg offers the same clinical effect for £38.69 monthly. Alli 60mg at half strength is available for £26.09 per 4-week supply. All require clinical assessment by our qualified prescribers.
Semaglutide Private Prescription Service
Semaglutide represents a newer approach to weight management, available through our private prescription service following individual clinical assessment. Unlike orlistat which works in the gut to block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, semaglutide works differently to support weight management. Both treatments require ongoing monitoring and lifestyle modifications for optimal results.
How Our Private Prescription Process Works
Complete your online medical questionnaire in under 10 minutes, covering medical history, current medications, and treatment goals. Our UK-licensed prescribers review your consultation within 24 hours, assessing suitability for either orlistat or semaglutide. If approved, your prescription is dispensed by our Leicester-based GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched for next day delivery with tracking.
Clinical Assessment for Both Treatments
Private prescription doesn't mean less thorough assessment. Our prescribers evaluate BMI, medical history, contraindications, and treatment suitability using the same clinical criteria as NHS services. Orlistat may be suitable for adults with BMI 30+ or 28+ with weight-related health conditions. Semaglutide assessment follows current prescribing guidelines, with individual suitability determined through comprehensive review.
Ongoing Support and Monitoring
Private prescription includes ongoing clinical support. Reorder consultations ensure continued treatment suitability, while our pharmacy team provides guidance on administration, side effects, and lifestyle modifications. Whether you choose orlistat's fat-blocking mechanism or semaglutide's different approach, proper monitoring optimises treatment outcomes and safety.
