Why Choose Private Prescription for Orlistat & Vitamin D?
Fast Access Without NHS Delays
Getting orlistat through the NHS often involves long waiting lists and multiple GP appointments. Our private prescription service provides faster access to orlistat 120mg, Xenical 120mg, or Alli 60mg following an online clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers. Complete your consultation today and receive your medication within 24 hours across the UK.
Orlistat and Vitamin D - Why Both Matter
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your gut. However, this can reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins including vitamin D. Our prescribers provide guidance on appropriate vitamin D supplementation alongside your orlistat treatment. Vitamin D should be taken at bedtime, at least 2 hours after your last orlistat dose, to ensure proper absorption.
Private Prescription Pricing
Our transparent pricing includes the prescription and clinical assessment. Orlistat 120mg starts from £16.89 for a 2-week supply (42 capsules), or £15.20 with code EDM10. For 4 weeks (84 capsules), the cost is £32.99, reduced to £29.69 with EDM10. Xenical 120mg branded option costs £42.99 for 4 weeks, or £38.69 with discount. Alli 60mg is available at £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10).
How Our Private Prescription Service Works
Complete our comprehensive online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines whether orlistat treatment is suitable for you. If approved, your prescription is issued immediately and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. Your medication is dispatched the same day with tracked, discreet delivery.
Clinical Assessment for Orlistat Suitability
Our prescribers assess whether you meet the clinical criteria for orlistat treatment, typically adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 or above with weight-related health conditions. The assessment includes reviewing any medications you're taking, particularly those that may interact with orlistat or require adjusted timing like thyroid medication. Your prescriber will also provide specific guidance on vitamin D supplementation based on your individual circumstances.
Choosing Between Orlistat, Xenical, and Alli
All three products contain the same active ingredient but at different strengths. Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg are clinically equivalent prescription-only medicines, with generic orlistat offering better value at £29.69 for 4 weeks compared to Xenical at £38.69 (with EDM10). Alli 60mg is half the prescription strength and may be suitable if you prefer starting with a lower dose. Your prescriber will recommend the most appropriate option based on your individual assessment.
