Getting Orlistat Prescribed Online in the UK
Obtaining a prescription for orlistat through EverydayMeds is designed to be convenient and confidential. Following an online clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers, suitable patients can access prescription weight loss treatment without needing a face-to-face GP appointment. Orlistat may be prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or those with a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.
Your Prescription Weight Loss Options
We offer three orlistat options to suit different preferences and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg provides the most cost-effective prescription treatment, starting from £32.99 for a 4-week supply (£29.69 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg contains the identical active ingredient at £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Both prescription strengths work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength option at £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10).
How Orlistat Supports Weight Management
Orlistat is a lipase inhibitor that works locally in your digestive system. It blocks enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat, preventing approximately one third of consumed fat from being absorbed into your body. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system, which may help reduce calorie intake from dietary fat. Orlistat must always be used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity for optimal results. The medication is designed to support weight reduction as part of a structured weight management programme.
The Online Assessment Process
Our streamlined prescription process begins with completing a comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber then reviews your information to determine clinical suitability. If approved, your prescription is issued and your chosen orlistat treatment is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy. Orders typically arrive within 1-2 working days in discreet, tamper-evident packaging.
Pricing and Value
EverydayMeds offers competitive pricing on all orlistat products with our EDM10 discount code providing 10% off every order. Generic orlistat 120mg represents excellent value at £95.99 for 12 weeks (£86.39 with EDM10), while Xenical 120mg costs £128.99 for 12 weeks (£116.09 with EDM10). All prices include the private prescription, clinical assessment, and UK delivery - no hidden costs or separate consultation fees.
Important Safety Information
Orlistat is generally well-tolerated when used correctly, though it may cause gastrointestinal side effects, particularly if high-fat meals are consumed. Common side effects include oily stools, increased bowel movement frequency, and abdominal discomfort. These effects can be minimised by keeping meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal). A daily multivitamin is recommended as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Always follow your prescriber's guidance and read the patient information leaflet provided.
