Orlistat 120mg Options and Pricing
Choose between cost-effective generic orlistat or branded Xenical, both containing identical 120mg orlistat doses. Generic orlistat 2-week supply (42 capsules) costs £16.89, reduced to £15.20 with code EDM10. For 4-week supplies, generic orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst branded Xenical costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Both options require the same private prescription process and deliver identical clinical effects for weight management.
How Private Prescription Orlistat Works
Orlistat 120mg works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. Unlike appetite suppressants, orlistat acts locally in the gut without affecting brain chemistry. When prescribed following clinical assessment, orlistat may help support weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, making dietary compliance important to minimise gastrointestinal side effects.
Private Prescription Process
Our streamlined private prescription service eliminates NHS waiting times. Complete your confidential online health questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. UK-licensed prescribers review your information and may prescribe orlistat 120mg where clinically appropriate. Successful prescriptions are dispensed immediately by our Leicester-based pharmacy with next day tracked delivery. No separate GP appointment needed – your prescription is included in the price.
Clinical Assessment for Weight Loss Treatment
Private orlistat prescriptions require clinical assessment by qualified healthcare professionals. Our prescribers evaluate suitability based on BMI, medical history, and weight-related health factors. Adults with BMI 30kg/m² or above, or BMI 28kg/m² with conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure, may be suitable for treatment. Final prescribing decisions rest with individual prescribers following comprehensive review of your health information.
Dosing and Treatment Duration
Orlistat 120mg capsules are taken three times daily with each main meal containing fat. Each capsule should be taken immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating. Our 2-week supplies (42 capsules) allow initial treatment assessment, whilst 12-week supplies (252 capsules) support longer-term weight management programmes. Treatment duration depends on individual response and ongoing clinical suitability as determined by healthcare professionals.
