Why Choose Private Prescription for Orlistat Tablets?
Private vs NHS Route for Orlistat Access
While orlistat is available through the NHS, accessing it privately offers significant advantages. NHS patients often face lengthy waiting times for GP appointments and weight management referrals, with strict eligibility criteria that may exclude suitable candidates. Our private prescription service bypasses these delays, providing direct access to UK-licensed prescribers who can assess your suitability for orlistat tablets within 24 hours. The online clinical assessment replaces the need for a face-to-face GP appointment, making the process faster and more convenient whilst maintaining the same clinical standards.
Orlistat Tablet Uses and How Private Prescription Works
Orlistat tablets work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. The medication inhibits lipase enzymes that break down fat, causing unabsorbed fat to pass naturally through your body. This mechanism can support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Our private prescription process begins with completing a comprehensive online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber then reviews your information to determine if orlistat treatment is clinically appropriate for your circumstances.
Treatment Options and Pricing
We offer three orlistat options to suit different needs and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg provides the most cost-effective choice at £29.69 for a 4-week supply with code EDM10. Branded Xenical 120mg contains the same active ingredient at £38.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10 discount. For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg (half the prescription dose) is available at £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10. All prices include the private prescription - no separate consultation fees apply. Longer treatment periods offer better value, with 12-week supplies providing significant savings per month.
Clinical Assessment and Suitability
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or 28 kg/m² with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. However, suitability depends on individual health circumstances assessed by our prescribers. The medication requires commitment to dietary changes, as consuming high-fat meals significantly increases gastrointestinal side effects. Our prescribers evaluate your medical history, current medications, and weight loss goals to ensure orlistat is appropriate and safe for you. Treatment must always be combined with a structured weight management programme including reduced-calorie, lower-fat meals and regular physical activity.
