Choose Your Prescription Weight Loss Treatment
Prescription Weight Loss Options Available
EverydayMeds supplies three clinically proven weight loss treatments following online consultation. Orlistat 120mg (generic) provides the most cost-effective option from £15.20 for 2 weeks with EDM10. Xenical 120mg (branded) contains the same active ingredient at £19.35 for 2 weeks. Both prescription-strength options work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength alternative at £26.09 for 4 weeks. All treatments require use alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and may help support weight management when prescribed following clinical assessment.
How Prescription Weight Loss Treatment Works
Orlistat acts locally in your digestive system to inhibit lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. This means approximately one third of the fat you eat cannot be digested or absorbed, passing naturally through your body. The medicine does not affect your brain or act as an appetite suppressant. Instead, it directly reduces calorie intake from dietary fat when combined with healthy eating habits. Individual responses vary, and the treatment works most effectively when meals contain moderate amounts of fat to minimise gastrointestinal side effects.
Online Consultation Process
Our streamlined process makes accessing prescription weight loss treatment convenient and confidential. Complete a detailed health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews every consultation to assess suitability based on your individual circumstances. Where clinically appropriate, prescriptions are issued and dispensed by our Leicester-based GPhC-registered pharmacy. Treatment is delivered discreetly to your address with tracked next-day delivery. The prescription cost is included - no separate GP appointment required.
Treatment Suitability and Safety
Prescription orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Clinical assessment determines individual eligibility. Like all prescription medicines, orlistat may cause side effects, most commonly gastrointestinal effects linked to dietary fat intake. These can be minimised by maintaining a lower-fat diet with approximately 15g fat per meal. A daily multivitamin is recommended as the medicine may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Always follow guidance from your prescriber.
