Why Choose Private Prescription for Orlistat 120mg?
Faster Access Without GP Appointments
Our private prescription service eliminates NHS waiting times and the need to book GP appointments. Complete our online clinical assessment today, and if approved by our UK-licensed prescriber, your orlistat 120mg capsules can be dispensed and delivered within 24 hours. This streamlined process provides the same clinical standards as your local GP surgery but with significantly faster access.
Competitive Private Prescription Pricing
Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value starting from £32.99 for 84 capsules (4-week supply), reduced to £29.69 with discount code EDM10. For longer treatment periods, our 168-capsule pack (8 weeks) costs £63.99, or £57.59 with EDM10. Branded Xenical 120mg is also available if you prefer the original formulation, priced at £42.99 for 84 capsules (£38.69 with EDM10). All prices include the prescription and clinical assessment.
How Orlistat 120mg Works
Orlistat works by blocking the absorption of approximately one third of dietary fat you consume. This prescription-strength formulation contains 120mg of orlistat per capsule, taken three times daily with each main meal containing fat. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system, supporting weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity.
Private vs NHS Route Comparison
While orlistat is available through the NHS, eligibility criteria and waiting lists can delay access. Our private prescription service offers immediate availability subject to clinical assessment. You'll complete the same thorough health questionnaire, but receive faster prescriber review and next-day delivery. This route is particularly beneficial if you meet the clinical criteria but face NHS delays, or prefer the convenience of online consultation.
Clinical Assessment Process
Our UK-licensed prescribers assess each application individually, reviewing your BMI, medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Orlistat 120mg may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30kg/m² or above, or 28kg/m² with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. The prescriber will determine if treatment is appropriate based on your individual circumstances.
Pack Sizes and Treatment Duration
We offer flexible pack sizes to suit different treatment periods. Our 42-capsule pack provides a 2-week trial (£16.89, or £15.20 with EDM10), while our popular 84-capsule option covers 4 weeks of treatment. For sustained weight management, consider our 168-capsule (8-week) or 252-capsule (12-week) packs, offering better value per capsule and reducing reorder frequency.
