Why Choose Private Prescription for Daily Orlistat?
Private vs NHS Route: Faster Access to Orlistat
While orlistat is available on the NHS, private prescription offers significant advantages for those seeking faster access. NHS prescriptions often involve lengthy GP appointments, referral processes, and waiting lists that can delay treatment for weeks or months. Our private prescription service bypasses these delays entirely.
Through EverydayMeds' online consultation, a UK-licensed prescriber can assess your suitability for orlistat 120mg, branded Xenical, or lower-strength Alli within hours rather than weeks. Following clinical approval, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your address with next day delivery available.
Orlistat Dosing: Three Times Daily, Not Once
It's important to clarify that orlistat is taken three times daily, not once daily. Each 120mg capsule should be taken with main meals containing fat - typically breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This means you'll take one capsule with each meal, up to three capsules per day maximum.
If you're looking for a once-daily weight loss medication, orlistat may not be suitable. However, the three-times-daily regimen allows orlistat to work effectively by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from each meal throughout the day.
Choose Your Orlistat Option
We offer three orlistat options to suit different needs and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg provides the most cost-effective option at £29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10. This contains the same active ingredient as branded alternatives at a lower price point.
Branded Xenical 120mg offers the original formulation at £38.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10. Both generic and branded versions require a prescription following clinical assessment and work identically - the key difference is cost.
For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg is available at £26.09 for 4 weeks with code EDM10. This half-strength version typically produces milder side effects but is also less potent than prescription-strength options.
The Private Prescription Process
Getting started with private prescription orlistat is straightforward. Complete our confidential online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information within hours.
If orlistat is deemed clinically appropriate for your circumstances, a prescription is issued and your chosen treatment dispatched from our Leicester pharmacy. The entire process typically takes 24-48 hours from consultation to delivery.
Your private prescription includes ongoing prescriber support. Follow-up consultations ensure your treatment remains suitable and effective as part of your weight management programme.
Pricing and Value
Private prescription orlistat offers excellent value compared to lengthy NHS processes. Our 4-week generic orlistat supply costs £29.69 with EDM10 - often less than multiple GP appointment charges and prescription fees combined.
Longer supplies offer better value: 12-week generic orlistat costs £86.39 with EDM10, working out at £7.20 per week. All prices include the prescriber consultation, prescription, and pharmacy dispensing - no hidden charges.
Use code EDM10 for 10% off every order, available to both new and returning customers. This discount applies automatically at checkout across all orlistat options.
