Choose Your Prescription Weight Loss Treatment
Prescription Weight Loss Tablets Available Online
EverydayMeds supplies three prescription weight loss options following an online clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers. Orlistat 120mg (generic) offers the most cost-effective option at £32.99 for a 4-week supply, or £29.69 with discount code EDM10. Xenical 120mg contains the same active ingredient as generic orlistat but as a branded product from Roche, priced at £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength option at £54.99 for an 8-week supply, reduced to £49.49 with our discount code.
How Prescription Orlistat Supports Weight Management
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, which may help reduce calorie intake from dietary fat. The medication acts locally in the gut rather than the brain, making it different from stimulant-based weight loss treatments. Orlistat can support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Online Prescription Process for Weight Loss Tablets
Our streamlined process starts with completing a confidential online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your treatment is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched with next day tracked delivery. The prescription fee is included in our prices, so there's no need for a separate GP appointment.
Choosing Between Orlistat, Xenical and Alli
Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same strength, with the main difference being cost. Our 12-week orlistat supply costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10), whilst Xenical costs £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10) for the same period. Both require prescription-only access following clinical assessment. Alli 60mg offers half the dose and typically produces milder side effects, making it suitable for those preferring a gentler starting point.
Who May Be Suitable for Prescription Weight Loss Treatment
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or those with a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above who have weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Suitability is determined through individual clinical assessment, with final prescribing decisions made by qualified healthcare professionals. Treatment is not suitable for anyone under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or those with certain medical conditions including chronic malabsorption syndrome.
Managing Treatment and Side Effects
Most side effects from orlistat are gastrointestinal and directly related to dietary fat intake. Keeping meals low in fat (approximately 15g fat per meal) significantly reduces the likelihood of oily stools, urgency, and other gut-related effects. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime helps replace fat-soluble vitamins that may be reduced during treatment.
