Fast Private Prescription Access vs NHS Route
Private Prescription: The Faster Alternative to NHS
While Wegovy availability remains extremely limited on the NHS with lengthy waiting lists, orlistat offers an immediately accessible private prescription alternative for weight management. Our online service bypasses NHS delays, providing same-day clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers. No GP appointment required - simply complete our medical questionnaire and receive prescriber review within hours, not months.
Orlistat vs Wegovy: Understanding Your Options
Wegovy (semaglutide) and orlistat work differently for weight management. While Wegovy is an injectable appetite suppressant with severe NHS supply constraints, orlistat 120mg capsules work locally in your gut to block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Available immediately through private prescription, orlistat may be suitable for adults with BMI 30+ or 28+ with weight-related health conditions, following clinical assessment.
Three Orlistat Options Available
Our GPhC-registered pharmacy stocks three orlistat products: Generic orlistat 120mg from £29.69 per month, branded Xenical 120mg from £38.69 monthly, and lower-strength Alli 60mg from £26.09 for 4 weeks (all prices with EDM10 discount). Each contains the same fat-blocking active ingredient, with identical clinical effects for the 120mg prescription strengths.
Immediate Online Prescription Process
Complete your confidential medical assessment online covering weight history, current medications, and health conditions. Our UK-licensed prescribers review applications typically within hours, not the weeks or months associated with NHS Wegovy referrals. If clinically appropriate, your prescription is issued immediately and dispensed by our Leicester-based pharmacy for next day delivery.
Why Choose Private Prescription Orlistat?
Unlike Wegovy's limited NHS availability, orlistat offers immediate private access for eligible patients. Treatment starts from £57.59 for 8 weeks or £86.39 for 12 weeks (generic orlistat with EDM10). No injection training required - simply take one capsule with each main meal containing fat. Works best alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet to minimise gastrointestinal side effects while supporting weight management goals.
