Private Prescription: Faster Route to Treatment
Who Manufactures Xenical and Generic Orlistat?
Xenical 120mg is manufactured by Roche, the original branded version of orlistat. Generic orlistat 120mg is produced by various licensed pharmaceutical manufacturers and contains the same active ingredient at the same strength. Both versions are clinically equivalent - the key difference is cost. Generic orlistat offers identical weight management support at significantly lower prices through our private prescription service.
Private vs NHS Prescription Route
Whilst orlistat is available on the NHS, eligibility criteria and waiting times can delay access to treatment. EverydayMeds' private prescription service provides faster access without GP appointments. Our UK-licensed prescribers conduct online clinical assessments, with same-day review and next-day delivery available. The private route offers greater convenience whilst maintaining the same regulatory standards as NHS prescribing.
Orlistat Pricing Comparison
Generic orlistat 120mg starts from £15.20 for 2 weeks (42 capsules) with code EDM10, compared to £19.35 for branded Xenical. For 4-week supplies, generic costs £29.69 versus £38.69 for Xenical - saving approximately £9 monthly. Both versions work identically, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
How the Private Prescription Process Works
Complete our online health questionnaire detailing your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information within hours, assessing suitability for orlistat treatment. If clinically appropriate, your prescription is issued and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. Medication is dispatched the same day with tracked, discreet delivery across the UK.
Clinical Assessment Requirements
Orlistat 120mg requires prescription following individual clinical assessment. Our prescribers evaluate BMI, weight-related health conditions, and medication suitability. Treatment may be appropriate for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with weight-related conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Assessment ensures safe, effective treatment whilst avoiding contraindications or drug interactions.
