How Alli Works - Private Prescription Route Explained
What Does Alli Weight Loss Medicine Do?
Alli 60mg contains orlistat, a lipase inhibitor that works locally in your digestive system to block approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. Unlike appetite suppressants that act on the brain, Alli works in your gut - the unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body. This can support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity.
Private Prescription vs NHS Route
While Alli and prescription-strength orlistat are available through the NHS, you'll typically face waiting lists and strict eligibility criteria. Our private prescription service offers faster access - complete an online clinical assessment today and receive prescriber approval within hours, not weeks. No GP appointment required, saving you time and hassle.
Alli vs Prescription Strength Options
At EverydayMeds, you can choose from three clinically-proven options following online assessment:
Alli 60mg: Lower-strength option, 4-week supply £28.99 (£26.09 with EDM10). Typically produces milder side effects while still blocking dietary fat absorption.
Orlistat 120mg: Generic prescription-strength, 4-week supply £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10). Double the strength of Alli for enhanced fat-blocking effect.
Xenical 120mg: Branded prescription option, 4-week supply £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Same clinical effect as generic orlistat with Roche's brand quality assurance.

Fast Online Assessment Process
Getting your private prescription is simple: complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your address with next-day tracked delivery.
Managing Side Effects and Diet
All orlistat-based medicines may cause gastrointestinal side effects, particularly when eating high-fat meals. Keep fat intake to approximately 15g per meal (30% of daily calories) to minimise oily stools, increased bowel movements, and anal leakage. These effects indicate the medicine is working and typically reduce as you adapt your diet. Take a daily multivitamin at bedtime to replace fat-soluble vitamins.
