Why Choose Private Prescription for Treatment Review?
When Orlistat Appears to Stop Working
Many patients worry that orlistat has stopped working when weight loss plateaus. However, this medication continues blocking approximately one third of dietary fat throughout treatment. A private prescription consultation allows immediate review of your progress without NHS delays. Our UK-licensed prescribers can assess whether treatment adjustments, dietary modifications, or alternative approaches may help optimise your weight management programme.
Private vs NHS Route for Orlistat Review
NHS consultations for orlistat review often involve lengthy waiting times for GP appointments. Through EverydayMeds' private prescription service, you receive same-day clinical assessment by qualified UK prescribers. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst Xenical 120mg costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Both contain identical active ingredients and clinical effectiveness - the key difference is cost and immediate access without NHS delays.
Treatment Options Available Through Private Prescription
Following clinical assessment, prescribers may recommend continuing current orlistat 120mg treatment, adjusting to Xenical 120mg branded version, or trying Alli 60mg as a lower-strength alternative. Alli provides half the dose for those preferring gentler introduction to treatment. All options require review of dietary fat intake, as orlistat works best alongside meals containing no more than 15g fat per serving.
Expert Clinical Review Without GP Appointment
Our online consultation includes comprehensive review of your weight management progress, current medications, and lifestyle factors. UK-licensed prescribers assess whether apparent treatment failure relates to dietary changes, expectations, or genuine need for alternative approaches. This thorough evaluation typically requires weeks of NHS waiting, but private prescription provides immediate expert guidance.
