How Private Prescription Orlistat Supports Weight Loss
How Orlistat Helps With Weight Loss
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed into your body. As a lipase inhibitor, it acts locally in your digestive system to prevent enzymes from breaking down dietary fat. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, helping reduce calorie intake from fat as part of your weight management plan. This mechanism makes orlistat an effective prescription weight loss treatment when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Private Prescription vs NHS Route
Whilst orlistat is available on the NHS, accessing it privately through EverydayMeds offers significant advantages. You can skip NHS waiting lists and avoid the need for a face-to-face GP appointment. Our online clinical assessment is completed by UK-licensed prescribers who can issue a prescription where clinically appropriate. This streamlined process means faster access to treatment, with your medication dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and delivered discreetly to your address.
Your Treatment Options and Pricing
We offer three prescription weight loss options to suit different needs and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg provides excellent value at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10 discount). Branded Xenical 120mg contains the same active ingredient at the same dose for £42.99 per 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg costs £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10). All three work by the same mechanism - Alli simply contains half the dose of the prescription-strength versions.
Clinical Assessment Process
Our private prescription service begins with a comprehensive online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information to determine treatment suitability. Orlistat may be appropriate for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. The prescriber will assess whether treatment is right for your individual circumstances before issuing a prescription.
