Private Orlistat Prescription - Faster Than NHS Route
How Much Fat Does Orlistat Block?
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you consume from being absorbed by your body. This lipase inhibitor acts locally in the gut, preventing fat-digesting enzymes from breaking down roughly 30% of fat from meals. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system, supporting weight management when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Private Prescription Advantage Over NHS
Whilst orlistat is available on the NHS, many patients face lengthy waiting times and strict eligibility criteria. Our private prescription service provides faster access without needing a GP appointment. Complete an online clinical assessment reviewed by UK-licensed prescribers, with same-day approval where clinically appropriate. This regulated route offers the same medication quality through our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy.
Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli - Which Blocks More Fat?
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients and block the same amount of fat - approximately one third of dietary intake. Generic orlistat offers excellent value at £29.69 for 4 weeks (with EDM10), whilst branded Xenical costs £38.69 for the same supply. Alli 60mg provides half the dose at a lower strength, blocking proportionally less fat but potentially causing milder side effects.
Fast-Track Your Weight Loss Journey
Don't let NHS delays impact your weight management goals. Our private prescription process takes minutes to complete online, with qualified UK prescribers reviewing applications within hours. Following clinical approval, your medication is dispensed immediately and dispatched for next day delivery across the UK. All orlistat products work best alongside a lower-fat diet containing no more than 15g fat per meal.
Competitive Private Prescription Pricing
Our transparent pricing includes prescription, clinical assessment and pharmacy dispensing fees. Orlistat 120mg starts from £15.20 for 2 weeks, with 12-week supplies at £86.39 (with EDM10 discount). Xenical 120mg ranges from £19.35 to £116.09, whilst Alli 60mg costs £26.09 for 4 weeks. All customers receive 10% off with code EDM10, making private treatment more affordable than many expect.
GPhC-Regulated Quality and Safety
Every prescription is dispensed by our Leicester-based GPhC-registered pharmacy using MHRA-approved stock from licensed UK suppliers. Your medication arrives in discreet, tracked packaging with full patient information leaflets. Side effects are typically gastrointestinal and directly linked to dietary fat intake - keeping meals low in fat minimises these effects significantly.
