Private Prescription Xenical - Faster Than NHS Route
Why Choose Private Prescription for Xenical?
Getting Xenical through a private prescription offers significant advantages over the NHS route. You can access Xenical without waiting lists, GP appointments, or lengthy referral processes. Our UK-licensed prescribers assess your eligibility through a comprehensive online consultation, providing faster access to weight management treatment. The private prescription route is particularly beneficial if you meet the clinical criteria but face delays through NHS services.
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat - Which Should You Choose?
Both Xenical 120mg and generic orlistat 120mg contain identical active ingredients and work in exactly the same way. Xenical is the branded version manufactured by Roche, whilst generic orlistat offers the same clinical effect at a lower cost. For a 4-week supply, Xenical costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10) whilst generic orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10). Many patients choose generic orlistat for the cost savings, whilst others prefer the branded Xenical. Both require the same clinical assessment and prescription process.
How the Private Prescription Process Works
Complete our detailed online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information within 24 hours, assessing whether Xenical or orlistat is suitable for your circumstances. If clinically appropriate, a prescription is issued and your medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. Your order is dispatched the same day with next day tracked delivery across the UK.
Clinical Assessment for Weight Loss Treatment
Xenical and orlistat 120mg are prescription-only medicines requiring clinical assessment. Our prescribers evaluate your BMI, medical history, and any weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Treatment is typically considered for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or 28 kg/m² with weight-related risk factors. The prescriber ensures the treatment is safe and appropriate for your individual circumstances before issuing a prescription.
What to Expect with Xenical Treatment
Xenical works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your gut. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, which may help reduce calorie intake when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Most patients take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. Keeping meal fat content low (around 15g per meal) helps minimise gastrointestinal side effects and maximises treatment effectiveness.

Xenical 120mg is available as 42 capsules (2 weeks, £21.50), 84 capsules (4 weeks, £42.99), 168 capsules (8 weeks, £86.99), or 252 capsules (12 weeks, £128.99).
