Private Prescription Route for Combined Weight Loss Treatment
Can Liraglutide and Orlistat Be Prescribed Together?
Combining liraglutide (a GLP-1 receptor agonist) with orlistat (a lipase inhibitor) may be considered by prescribers for certain patients requiring additional weight management support. These medications work through different mechanisms - liraglutide affects appetite regulation whilst orlistat blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. However, combination therapy requires individual clinical assessment and careful monitoring by a qualified healthcare professional.
Why Choose Private Prescription Over NHS?
The NHS weight management pathway can involve lengthy waiting times and strict eligibility criteria. EverydayMeds' private prescription service offers faster access to orlistat treatment following an online clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers. Our regulated process eliminates the need for GP appointments whilst maintaining the same clinical standards. You can access prescription weight loss medication within days rather than months, with the flexibility to discuss combination approaches with your prescriber.
Orlistat Options and Pricing
We stock both generic orlistat and branded Xenical, plus lower-strength Alli 60mg. Generic orlistat 120mg provides identical clinical effects to Xenical at significant savings. A 4-week supply costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), compared to Xenical at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Both require prescription following clinical assessment. For those considering combination therapy, our prescribers can review your current liraglutide treatment and assess orlistat suitability during your online consultation.
Clinical Assessment for Combination Therapy
When reviewing combination weight loss treatments, our prescribers consider factors including your current medication response, BMI, weight-related health conditions, and potential drug interactions. Liraglutide and orlistat target different aspects of weight management - appetite control versus fat absorption - which may provide complementary benefits for suitable patients. However, this approach requires ongoing monitoring and may not be appropriate for everyone.
How to Start Your Private Assessment
Complete our confidential online health questionnaire detailing your current liraglutide treatment, weight management history, and health status. A UK-licensed prescriber will review your information and determine whether adding orlistat to your regimen is clinically appropriate. If approved, your prescription orlistat will be dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and delivered discreetly to your address with next day tracked shipping.
