Why Choose Private Prescription for Weight Loss Medication?
Private vs NHS Route for Orlistat Treatment
Whilst orlistat is available through the NHS, many patients face lengthy waiting times and strict eligibility criteria. Our private prescription service offers a faster, more convenient alternative without compromising on clinical standards. You'll receive the same high-quality medication dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester, following assessment by UK-licensed prescribers.
Your Treatment Options: Orlistat, Xenical or Alli
We offer three clinically-proven weight loss medications, all containing the active ingredient orlistat. Generic orlistat 120mg provides the most cost-effective option at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg offers the same clinical effect at £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength alternative at £54.99 for 8 weeks (£49.49 with EDM10). All work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
How Our Private Prescription Process Works
Complete our online health questionnaire detailing your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines treatment suitability based on clinical guidelines. If approved, your prescription is dispensed immediately by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched for next-day delivery. The entire process typically completes within 24 hours, significantly faster than NHS waiting times.
Clinical Assessment Without GP Appointments
Our online clinical assessment replaces the need for face-to-face GP appointments whilst maintaining the same regulatory standards. You'll provide detailed health information including BMI, medical conditions, and current medications. This allows our prescribers to make informed decisions about treatment suitability. Orlistat may be prescribed 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.
Cost Comparison and Savings
Private prescription costs are transparent with no hidden fees. Generic orlistat offers significant savings compared to branded Xenical - approximately £9 per month difference. A 12-week supply of orlistat costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10) compared to Xenical at £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). Both contain identical active ingredients and provide the same clinical effects. Use code EDM10 at checkout for 10% off every order, available to both new and returning customers.
Secure, Discreet Delivery Service
All orders are dispatched in discreet, unmarked packaging with tracked delivery across the UK. Next-day delivery ensures you receive your medication quickly without delays. Our secure packaging protects your privacy whilst ensuring medication integrity during transit. Prescription charges are included in the total price with no additional fees for clinical assessment or dispensing.
