How to Access Prescription Weight Loss Treatment UK
Where to Get Xenical and Orlistat in the UK
Xenical 120mg and generic orlistat 120mg are prescription-only weight loss medications available through GPhC-registered pharmacies in the UK. Both contain the same active ingredient at the same dose and work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. At EverydayMeds, you can access these prescription treatments following an online clinical assessment by a UK-licensed healthcare professional, without needing a separate GP appointment.
Prescription Weight Loss Options Available
We supply three clinically proven weight loss treatments. Generic orlistat 120mg offers the most cost-effective option, starting from £32.99 for a 4-week supply (£29.69 with EDM10). Xenical 120mg is the branded version from Roche, available from £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg provides half the dose at £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10). All treatments may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Clinical Assessment and Prescription Process
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical are prescription-only medicines requiring clinical assessment before supply. Our online consultation involves completing a detailed health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines whether prescription weight loss treatment is clinically appropriate for you. This regulated process ensures you receive safe, legal access to genuine prescription medication.
How Prescription Orlistat Works
Orlistat works locally in the digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. This prevents approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed into the body. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through the digestive system. This mechanism may help reduce calorie intake from dietary fat as part of a structured weight management programme. Effects vary between individuals, and the medication works best when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Pricing and Savings with EDM10
Generic orlistat offers significant savings compared to branded Xenical while providing identical clinical effects. A 12-week supply of generic orlistat costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10), whilst Xenical 12 weeks costs £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). Every customer receives 10% off with code EDM10 - this applies to new and returning customers on every single order. Prescription consultation is included in the price, with discreet next day delivery available across the UK.
Eligibility and Suitability Assessment
Prescription 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 with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Suitability is determined through individual clinical assessment by our prescribers. Treatment is not suitable for everyone, including those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, or have certain medical conditions. Your prescriber will assess whether prescription weight loss treatment is appropriate for your circumstances.
