Why Choose Private Prescription for Your First Week?
Faster Access Without NHS Delays
While orlistat is available through the NHS, many patients face lengthy waiting times for GP appointments and weight management referrals. Our private prescription service eliminates these delays, allowing you to start your weight loss journey sooner. Complete our online clinical assessment today and receive prescriber review within hours, not weeks.
Three Treatment Options Available
Choose the option that suits your needs and budget. Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength starting point at £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10). Generic Orlistat 120mg provides prescription strength at £16.89 for 2 weeks (£15.20 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg offers the same clinical effect as generic orlistat at £21.50 for 2 weeks (£19.35 with EDM10).
What to Expect in Your First Week
During your first week with any orlistat medication, your body adapts to the fat-blocking mechanism. The medication works by preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. Most patients notice gastrointestinal effects initially - these can be minimised by keeping meals low in fat (around 15g per meal). Following the recommended lower-fat diet alongside your medication helps reduce side effects significantly.
Private vs NHS Route Benefits
Our private prescription service offers several advantages over the NHS route. No waiting for GP appointments, no referral delays, and access to all three medication options. Your prescription is included in the price with no separate consultation fees. Our GPhC-registered pharmacy ensures the same safety standards as any UK pharmacy, with MHRA-regulated supply chains and UK-licensed prescribers conducting all clinical assessments.
Simple Online Process
Complete our medical questionnaire covering your weight management history, current health, and treatment goals. Our UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines if orlistat treatment is suitable for you. If approved, your medication is dispensed immediately from our Leicester pharmacy and dispatched the same day with tracked, discreet delivery. Use code EDM10 for 10% off every order.
Starting Your Treatment Safely
All orlistat medications work best alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity. Whether you choose Alli, generic orlistat, or Xenical, the key to minimising side effects is controlling dietary fat intake. Take your medication with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. If a meal contains no fat, you can skip that dose.
