Fast Access to Orlistat - Order Your Private Prescription
How to Take Xenical Orlistat Correctly
Xenical orlistat 120mg should be taken as one capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat. Take each capsule immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating. If you miss a meal or eat a meal with no fat, skip that dose. Never exceed three capsules per day. This dosing schedule helps orlistat block approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed, supporting your weight management goals alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Private Prescription vs NHS Route
While orlistat is available on the NHS, private prescription through EverydayMeds offers faster access without waiting lists. Our UK-licensed prescribers can review your online assessment and issue a prescription the same day where clinically appropriate. Generic orlistat 120mg starts from £29.69 for 4 weeks (£32.99 before EDM10 discount), while branded Xenical costs £38.69 for 4 weeks. Both contain identical active ingredients and provide the same clinical effect - the choice is yours.
What Happens During Your Online Assessment
Complete our confidential health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews every application individually. If approved, your prescription is sent directly to our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester for dispensing and next-day delivery. The entire process typically takes 24 hours from assessment to delivery, compared to potentially weeks through NHS channels.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Effect, Different Prices
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. Clinical effectiveness is equivalent - the main difference is cost. Generic orlistat offers significant savings: 8-week supply costs £57.59 with EDM10 compared to Xenical at £78.29. Many patients choose generic orlistat for better value, while others prefer the branded option. Your prescriber can advise which suits your needs best.
Managing Your Treatment Effectively
Keep each meal to approximately 15g fat or less to minimise gastrointestinal side effects. Spread your daily fat intake evenly across three main meals. Take a multivitamin supplement at bedtime (at least 2 hours after your last orlistat dose) as the medication may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Most side effects reduce as you adapt to a lower-fat diet. Order your next supply in advance to maintain consistent treatment.
