Why Choose Private Prescription for Weight Loss Medication?
Private vs NHS Route: Faster Access to Weight Loss Treatment
While the NHS provides orlistat through GP surgeries, private prescription offers significant advantages. Skip lengthy waiting lists, avoid multiple GP appointments, and access treatment faster through our regulated online service. Our UK-licensed prescribers can assess your suitability for weight loss medication including Xenical, generic orlistat, and Alli without the delays often experienced through NHS channels.
Treatment Options Available Through Private Prescription
Following clinical assessment, you may be suitable for several options. Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), providing identical clinical effects to branded alternatives. Xenical 120mg, the original branded version, costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). For those preferring lower-strength treatment, Alli 60mg is available at £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10). All work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
How Private Prescription Works Online
Complete our confidential medical questionnaire covering your health history, current medications, and weight management goals. Our UK-licensed prescribers review your information within 24 hours, assessing suitability for treatment. If approved, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy and dispatched with next-day delivery. The entire process typically takes 24-48 hours compared to weeks through traditional NHS routes.
Clinical Assessment and Safety
Every private prescription follows the same rigorous standards as NHS treatment. Our prescribers assess BMI, medical history, and any contraindications before approving treatment. Orlistat medications may cause gastrointestinal side effects, particularly when consuming high-fat meals. These can be minimised by following a lower-fat diet as recommended. Regular monitoring and follow-up consultations ensure safe, effective treatment throughout your weight management journey.
Pricing and Value
Private prescription eliminates NHS prescription charges while providing competitive pricing. Our 12-week generic orlistat supply costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10), often less than multiple NHS prescription fees. Longer treatment courses offer better value - 8-week supplies of generic orlistat cost £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10). All prices include the private prescription, clinical assessment, and professional dispensing by qualified pharmacists.
