Private Orlistat Prescription - Skip NHS Waiting Times
Why Choose Private Prescription Orlistat Over NHS?
While orlistat is available on the NHS, many patients face lengthy waiting times for GP appointments and weight management programmes. EverydayMeds offers a private prescription route that bypasses these delays. Our UK-licensed prescribers can assess your suitability through a confidential online consultation, providing faster access to prescription-strength orlistat without the NHS bottlenecks.
Three Orlistat Options Available
Following clinical assessment, you can access three different orlistat formulations. Generic orlistat 120mg offers the most cost-effective option at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg provides the same clinical effect at £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). For those preferring a lower-strength starting point, Alli 60mg is available at £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10).
How Orlistat Supports Weight Management
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in the gut. This lipase inhibitor helps reduce calorie intake from fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The medication acts locally in the digestive system and is designed to support weight loss as part of a structured programme including dietary changes and increased physical activity.
Who May Be Suitable for Private Prescription?
Adults with a BMI of 30 or above may be suitable for orlistat treatment. Those with a BMI of 28 or above with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure may also qualify. Our prescriber will assess your individual circumstances during the online consultation to determine if treatment is appropriate for you.
Simple Private Prescription Process
Complete our confidential online health questionnaire covering your medical history and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription if clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your address with next-day shipping across the UK.
Managing Side Effects With Lower-Fat Diet
Like all prescription medicines, orlistat may cause gastrointestinal side effects, particularly when eating high-fat meals. Keeping meals to approximately 15g fat each significantly reduces the likelihood of oily stools, urgent bowel movements, and abdominal discomfort. Most patients find side effects decrease as they adapt to a lower-fat eating pattern.
Competitive Private Prescription Pricing
Our 12-week generic orlistat supply costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10), offering significant value compared to private clinic consultations. All prices include the prescription fee and clinical assessment - no hidden charges. Use code EDM10 at checkout for 10% off every order, available to both new and returning customers.
