Why Choose Private Prescription for Weight Loss?
Private vs NHS Route for Alli and Orlistat
Using Alli for weight loss through a private prescription offers significant advantages over the NHS route. Whilst orlistat is available on the NHS, it's subject to strict eligibility criteria and often lengthy waiting times for GP appointments. Our private prescription service provides faster access through online clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers, typically completed within 24 hours.
Alli 60mg - Lower Strength Starting Option
Alli 60mg capsules contain half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat, making them suitable for those preferring a gentler starting point. At £28.99 for a 4-week supply (£26.09 with EDM10), Alli works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Each capsule is taken three times daily with main meals containing fat.
Prescription-Strength Orlistat 120mg Options
For those requiring full-strength treatment, our private prescription service also provides access to orlistat 120mg capsules from £16.89 (£15.20 with EDM10) and branded Xenical 120mg from £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10). Both contain the same active ingredient at double the strength of Alli, requiring clinical assessment by our prescribers before dispensing.
How Our Private Prescription Process Works
Complete our comprehensive online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines whether Alli or prescription-strength orlistat is clinically appropriate for you. If approved, your medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched for next-day delivery.
Professional Weight Management Support
Using Alli for weight loss works best as part of a structured programme combining a lower-fat diet (approximately 15g fat per meal) and regular physical activity. Our prescribers provide guidance on managing potential gastrointestinal side effects, which are more common with higher-fat meals. A daily multivitamin supplement is recommended, taken at bedtime at least 2 hours after your last orlistat dose.
Flexible Supply Options to Suit Your Journey
Choose from multiple pack sizes to match your weight management timeline. Alli 60mg is available as 4-week (42 capsules), 8-week (84 capsules), or 12-week (252 capsules) supplies. All orders qualify for 10% off with code EDM10, and we offer free next-day delivery on orders over £40. Start your private prescription consultation today for faster access than NHS routes.
