How to Get Prescription Orlistat Online in the UK
Does Orlistat Require a Prescription in the UK?
Orlistat 120mg is a prescription-only medicine in the UK. This means you need a valid prescription from a qualified healthcare professional before you can purchase it. At EverydayMeds, our UK-licensed prescribers can assess your suitability through a comprehensive online consultation, removing the need for a face-to-face GP appointment.
Prescription Weight Loss Options Available
We offer three clinically equivalent options: Generic orlistat 120mg provides excellent value at £32.99 for 84 capsules (£29.69 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg contains the same active ingredient at £42.99 for 84 capsules (£38.69 with EDM10). For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg is available at £28.99 for 42 capsules (£26.09 with EDM10). All options work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Who May Be Suitable for Prescription Orlistat?
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or those with a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Our prescribers will assess your individual circumstances, including your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals during the online consultation.
How the Online Prescription Process Works
Complete our confidential medical questionnaire detailing your health history and weight management needs. A qualified UK prescriber will review your information and determine if orlistat is appropriate for you. Once approved, we'll dispense your prescription from our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatch it with next day delivery. Your prescription is included in the price - no additional consultation fees.
Orlistat Dosing and Treatment Duration
Prescription orlistat 120mg is taken as one capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat. Our pack sizes accommodate different treatment durations: 42 capsules provide a 2-week supply, 84 capsules last 4 weeks, 168 capsules cover 8 weeks, and 252 capsules provide 12 weeks of treatment. Your prescriber may recommend starting with a shorter supply to assess tolerance before committing to longer treatment periods.
