Why Choose Private Prescription for Weight Loss Treatment?
Private vs NHS Route for Prescription Weight Loss Treatment
The private prescription route offers significant advantages over traditional NHS pathways for accessing weight loss medication. While the NHS provides orlistat treatment, patients often face lengthy waiting lists, strict eligibility criteria, and multiple GP appointments. Private prescription through EverydayMeds eliminates these barriers, providing faster access to the same regulated medications through UK-licensed prescribers.
Available Treatment Options and Pricing
We offer three clinically-proven weight loss treatments following online assessment. Orlistat 120mg represents the most cost-effective option, starting from £16.89 for a 2-week supply (£15.20 with EDM10). For those preferring branded treatment, Xenical 120mg provides identical clinical benefits at £21.50 for 2 weeks. Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength alternative at £28.99 for 4 weeks. All treatments work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
How the Private Prescription Process Works
The online consultation process is straightforward and regulated. Complete a comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines treatment suitability. If appropriate, your prescription is issued and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. Orders are dispatched the same day for next day delivery in discreet, secure packaging.
Clinical Assessment and Safety
Every prescription requires approval from qualified healthcare professionals. Our UK-licensed prescribers assess each case individually, considering BMI, medical history, and weight-related health factors. Treatment may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 and above with weight-related conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. The assessment ensures safe, appropriate prescribing while maintaining the same regulatory standards as traditional pharmacy services.
Ongoing Support and Medication Management
Private prescription provides continuous access to treatment without repeated GP appointments. Reorder your medication through the same streamlined process, with prescriber review ensuring ongoing suitability. Our pharmacy team provides medication guidance and answers questions about administration, side effects, and dietary recommendations. Remember, all orlistat treatments work best when combined with a structured weight management programme including regular exercise and nutritional support.
