How to Get Your Orlistat Prescription Online Today
The Online Prescription Process Made Simple
Getting orlistat prescribed online through EverydayMeds follows a straightforward three-step process. First, complete our comprehensive online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Our UK-licensed prescribers then review your information within hours, assessing whether orlistat 120mg is clinically appropriate for your circumstances. Once approved, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched for next-day delivery across the UK.
This regulated online prescribing service eliminates the need for face-to-face GP appointments whilst maintaining the same clinical standards. Every prescription decision is made by qualified healthcare professionals following MHRA guidelines and GPhC regulations.
Orlistat vs Xenical: Choose Your Preferred Option
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose, offering equivalent clinical effects. The key difference lies in cost savings - generic orlistat provides exceptional value with our 4-week supply priced at £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), compared to Xenical at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10).
Our longest-term 12-week supplies offer the best value: orlistat 120mg costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10) versus Xenical at £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). Both options require the same clinical assessment and work identically alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Your prescriber will confirm which option suits your needs during the online consultation.
How Orlistat Works: The Science Behind Fat Blocking
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, reducing overall calorie intake when combined with appropriate dietary changes. The medication acts locally in the gut rather than affecting your brain or nervous system.
For optimal results, take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat - up to three capsules daily. If you skip a meal or eat something fat-free, you can omit that dose. This targeted approach means orlistat works best when your daily fat intake is distributed evenly across meals, with no more than approximately 15g fat per meal to minimise gastrointestinal side effects.
Clinical Assessment: Who May Be Suitable
Our prescribers assess orlistat suitability based on established clinical criteria. Adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above may be considered, as well as those with a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above who have weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or elevated cholesterol levels.
The online consultation captures essential information including your current weight, height, medical history, and any existing medications. This comprehensive assessment ensures orlistat is clinically appropriate and safe for your individual circumstances. Treatment decisions are made entirely by qualified UK healthcare professionals, never by automated systems.
Managing Your Treatment: Dosing and Dietary Guidance
Success with orlistat depends heavily on combining the medication with appropriate dietary changes. Take one capsule immediately before, during, or up to one hour after each main meal containing fat. Your daily fat intake should represent no more than 30% of total calories, ideally spread across three meals rather than concentrated in one large meal.
Consider taking a daily multivitamin supplement at bedtime, as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K). This should be taken at least two hours after your evening orlistat dose. Most patients find that maintaining consistent meal timing and fat content helps establish a routine that maximises benefits whilst minimising side effects.
