Private Orlistat vs NHS: Faster Access, Same Standards
Why Choose Private Orlistat Prescription?
While orlistat 120mg is available on the NHS, many patients face lengthy waiting times for GP appointments and weight management referrals. Our private prescription service provides the same prescription-strength orlistat through qualified UK prescribers, but without the delays. You'll complete an online clinical assessment that's reviewed by a UK-licensed healthcare professional, with most consultations processed within hours rather than weeks.
Private Prescription Process at EverydayMeds
Our streamlined private prescription service replaces traditional GP visits with a comprehensive online consultation. You'll complete a detailed health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK prescriber reviews your information and, where clinically appropriate, issues a private prescription for orlistat 120mg or Xenical 120mg. The entire process typically takes just a few hours, with medication dispatched the same day from our Leicester-based GPhC-registered pharmacy.
Orlistat Pricing: Private vs NHS Prescription Charges
Our private orlistat prices often compare favourably to multiple NHS prescription charges. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for a 4-week supply (£29.69 with EDM10), while an 8-week supply costs £63.99 (£57.59 with code EDM10). For those preferring branded Xenical, 4-week supplies cost £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Unlike NHS prescriptions where you'd pay multiple prescription charges for ongoing treatment, our transparent pricing includes the consultation, prescription, and medication in one simple payment.
Same Clinical Standards, Faster Access
Our private prescription service maintains the same rigorous clinical standards as NHS prescribing. All prescribers are UK-licensed healthcare professionals who assess each patient individually. Orlistat 120mg is only prescribed where clinically appropriate for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 and above with weight-related health conditions. The medication works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption and must be used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity.
Next-Day Delivery and Ongoing Support
Once your private prescription is approved, medication is dispensed immediately from our GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched via tracked next-day delivery. We stock both generic orlistat 120mg capsules and branded Xenical 120mg, with pack sizes from 2-week supplies (42 capsules) up to 12-week supplies (252 capsules). All orders qualify for our 10% discount with code EDM10, and we provide ongoing prescription renewal services to ensure continuity of treatment without further delays.
