Why Choose Private Prescription for Weight Loss?
Key Differences: Orlistat vs Ozempic
Orlistat and Ozempic work through completely different mechanisms. Orlistat 120mg is a prescription-only oral capsule that works locally in the gut, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. It's taken three times daily with meals containing fat. Ozempic (semaglutide) is an injectable medication primarily licensed for type 2 diabetes, though sometimes prescribed off-label for weight management by specialists.
Private Prescription Advantages
NHS weight loss medication access often involves lengthy waiting times and strict eligibility criteria. EverydayMeds' private prescription service offers faster access without GP appointments. Our UK-licensed prescribers conduct thorough online clinical assessments, reviewing your medical history and suitability for orlistat treatment. Following prescriber approval, medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy.
Orlistat Options and Pricing
We supply three orlistat options: Generic orlistat 120mg from £16.89 for 2 weeks (£15.20 with EDM10), branded Xenical 120mg from £21.50 for 2 weeks (£19.35 with EDM10), and Alli 60mg from £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10). The 4-week generic orlistat supply costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), offering excellent value compared to private GP consultations plus prescription costs.
How Our Process Works
Complete our comprehensive online health questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK prescriber reviews your information within 24 hours, determining treatment suitability. If appropriate, your prescription is issued and medication dispatched for next day delivery. The entire process typically takes 24-48 hours from assessment to delivery.
Clinical Assessment Requirements
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with BMI 30 or above, or BMI 28 or above with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Treatment must be combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Our prescribers assess individual suitability, ensuring safe and appropriate treatment selection.
