Why Orlistat May Not Be Working
If you're not losing weight on orlistat, several factors could be affecting your results. Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, but this only occurs when you're following a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Many patients find their progress stalls because they're not maintaining the right dietary balance or may need a different strength.
Our private prescription service allows you to discuss these concerns with a UK-licensed prescriber without waiting for an NHS appointment. Through our online clinical assessment, you can review your current treatment and explore whether a different approach might work better for you.
Private Prescription Options Available
We supply three orlistat options through private prescription: Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value at £29.69 for a 4-week supply (84 capsules) with code EDM10. Xenical 120mg, the branded version, provides identical clinical effects at £38.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10. For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg is available at £49.49 for an 8-week supply with EDM10.
All treatments require clinical assessment by our qualified prescribers who will review your weight management goals, current diet, and previous orlistat experience to determine the most suitable option.
Optimising Your Treatment
During your private consultation, our prescribers can provide guidance on maximising orlistat effectiveness. This includes ensuring your daily fat intake doesn't exceed 30% of calories, spreading fat evenly across meals, and maintaining realistic expectations. Sometimes patients need longer treatment periods or dietary adjustments rather than medication changes.
The online consultation process is straightforward: complete our health questionnaire, have it reviewed by a UK-licensed prescriber, and receive your prescription if clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your address.
Why Choose Private Prescription
NHS orlistat prescriptions involve waiting times and strict eligibility criteria. Our private service provides faster access with the same clinical standards. You'll receive the same MHRA-regulated medications dispensed by qualified pharmacists, but without delays or appointment availability issues.
