Why Choose Private Prescription for Orlistat?
Fast Track Your Weight Management Without NHS Delays
Getting prescribed orlistat on the NHS often involves lengthy waiting times for GP appointments, followed by potential referrals to weight management services. With EverydayMeds' private prescription service, you can bypass these delays entirely. Our UK-licensed prescribers assess your suitability through a comprehensive online consultation, potentially issuing your prescription the same day.
Three Orlistat Options Available Through Private Prescription
Following clinical assessment, you may be prescribed generic orlistat 120mg (from £15.20 for 2 weeks with EDM10), branded Xenical 120mg (from £19.35 for 2 weeks with EDM10), or Alli 60mg. All contain the same active ingredient that works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
How Our Private Prescription Process Works
Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and BMI. A qualified UK prescriber reviews your information and determines whether orlistat is clinically appropriate for you. If approved, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched for next day delivery. The entire process typically takes 24 hours compared to weeks through NHS channels.
Cost Comparison: Private vs NHS Prescription Charges
While NHS prescriptions cost £9.90 per item in England (free in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland), private prescriptions through EverydayMeds include the consultation and prescription in one price. A 4-week supply of generic orlistat costs £29.69 with EDM10 - just £7.42 per week. No separate prescription charges, no GP appointment fees, and significantly faster access to treatment.
Same Clinical Standards, Faster Access
Our private prescription service maintains the same regulatory standards as NHS prescribing. All prescribers are UK-licensed healthcare professionals, medication is sourced through MHRA-regulated supply chains, and our pharmacy holds full GPhC registration. The only difference is speed and convenience - you receive the same quality treatment without NHS waiting times.
