Why Choose Private Prescription Over NHS Route?
Clinical Effectiveness of Orlistat for Weight Loss
Orlistat is clinically proven effective for weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The medication works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in the gut, helping reduce calorie intake from fat. Individual responses vary, but orlistat can support significant weight reduction as part of a structured weight management programme. Unlike the NHS route with potential waiting lists and limited appointment availability, private prescription through EverydayMeds offers immediate access to assessment.
Private vs NHS Prescription Route
While orlistat is available on the NHS, eligibility criteria and waiting times can delay access to treatment. Our private prescription service eliminates these barriers. UK-licensed prescribers assess your suitability online within hours, not weeks. No need to book GP appointments or wait for referrals. Generic orlistat 120mg costs from £29.69 for 4 weeks (with EDM10), often comparable to NHS prescription charges when considering convenience and speed of access.
Orlistat Product Options Available
We stock three orlistat options following clinical assessment. Generic orlistat 120mg offers the most cost-effective choice at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg contains the identical active ingredient at £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength option at £54.99 for 8 weeks (£49.49 with EDM10). All contain the same active ingredient - orlistat - that inhibits lipase enzymes to prevent dietary fat absorption.
How Our Private Prescription Process Works
Complete our online health questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and BMI information. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your assessment within hours. If clinically appropriate, your prescription is issued and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. Next-day tracked delivery ensures discreet arrival at your address. The entire process typically takes 24-48 hours compared to potential weeks through NHS routes. Prescription costs are included - no separate consultation fees.
Supporting Your Weight Management Journey
Orlistat works best when combined with a structured approach to diet and lifestyle. The medication blocks approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed, but requires commitment to a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet to maximise effectiveness and minimise gastrointestinal side effects. Our private prescription service includes guidance materials, but ongoing support from healthcare professionals is recommended. Consider this the first step in accessing professional weight management support without NHS delays.
