Why Choose Private Prescription for Orlistat?
Understanding Orlistat and Gastrointestinal Effects
Yes, orlistat can cause wind (flatulence), often accompanied by oily discharge. This occurs because orlistat blocks approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed, and this unabsorbed fat passes through your digestive system. The good news is these effects are manageable with proper dietary guidance - something our private prescription service provides from day one.
With a private prescription through EverydayMeds, you'll receive comprehensive guidance on minimising side effects by keeping meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal). Our UK-licensed prescribers assess your suitability and provide personalised advice, helping you start treatment with confidence.
Private vs NHS Route: Skip the Wait
NHS orlistat prescriptions can involve lengthy GP waiting lists and multiple appointments. Our private prescription service eliminates these delays. Complete your online clinical assessment today, and if suitable, receive your prescription within 24 hours. Our prescribers are qualified UK healthcare professionals who understand weight management challenges and provide expert guidance on managing orlistat effectively.
Your private consultation includes detailed advice on diet modification, side effect management, and realistic expectations. This comprehensive approach helps minimise gastrointestinal effects like wind while maximising treatment effectiveness.
Pricing and Treatment Options
Choose from three clinically-proven options: Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value at £29.69 for a 4-week supply (with EDM10), while branded Xenical 120mg costs £38.69 for the same period. Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength alternative at £26.09 for 4 weeks. All prices include the private prescription consultation - no separate GP fees.
Longer treatment courses offer better value: 12-week orlistat supply costs just £86.39 with code EDM10, compared to £116.09 for Xenical. Our GPhC-registered pharmacy ensures authentic medication sourced through licensed UK supply chains.
Managing Side Effects Professionally
Wind and oily stools are common initially but typically reduce as you adapt to a lower-fat diet. Our prescribers provide specific dietary guidance: spread your daily fat intake across three main meals, avoid high-fat foods, and consider a multivitamin supplement taken at bedtime. This professional support helps you navigate early treatment successfully.
Unlike buying from unregulated sources, our private prescription service includes ongoing support. Contact our pharmacy team with questions about side effects, dosing, or dietary advice. This professional oversight ensures safer, more effective treatment.
Fast, Discreet Delivery Process
Once prescribed, your orlistat is dispensed by our Leicester-based GPhC-registered pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your address. Next-day delivery means you can start treatment immediately without further delays. All packaging is plain and confidential, with your medication securely packaged for safe transit.
