Why Choose Private Prescription for Orlistat?
Fast Private Access Without NHS Delays
Getting orlistat through the NHS can involve lengthy waiting times and multiple GP appointments. Our private prescription service offers a faster alternative, with online clinical assessments completed by UK-licensed prescribers. You can access orlistat 120mg, Xenical, or Alli without joining NHS waiting lists, receiving your medication within days rather than weeks or months.
Orlistat and Contraceptive Pill Guidance
When taking orlistat alongside contraceptive pills, timing and absorption considerations are important. Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your gut, but it may affect the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and some medications. Your prescriber will provide specific guidance on contraceptive pill interactions during your consultation, ensuring safe concurrent use of both medications.
Private Prescription Pricing Options
Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value: 4-week supply £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), 8-week supply £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10), and 12-week supply £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg is also available for those preferring the original formulation, while Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength option. All prices include the private prescription - no separate consultation fees.
How Our Private Service Works
Complete our confidential online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications including contraceptive pills, and weight management goals. A qualified UK prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy and dispatched with next day delivery. The entire process typically takes 24-48 hours from assessment to delivery.
Clinical Assessment for Contraceptive Users
Our prescribers pay special attention to patients using hormonal contraceptives, ensuring orlistat treatment is suitable alongside your current medication regimen. The assessment considers your BMI, weight-related health factors, and any potential interactions with contraceptive pills or other medications. This thorough review ensures safe, effective treatment tailored to your individual circumstances.
Professional Support Throughout Treatment
Private prescription patients receive ongoing support from our qualified team. We provide detailed guidance on taking orlistat with meals, managing potential side effects, and maintaining effectiveness alongside contraceptive pill use. Our pharmacists are available to answer questions about timing, dietary recommendations, and any concerns during your treatment course.
