Why Choose Private Prescription for Weight Management?
Private vs NHS: Faster Access to Weight Loss Medication
While weight loss medications like orlistat are available on the NHS, private prescription offers significant advantages. NHS routes often involve lengthy waiting times, multiple GP appointments, and strict eligibility criteria. With EverydayMeds' private prescription service, you can access clinical assessment from UK-licensed prescribers without the delays. Our online consultation process replaces the need for face-to-face GP appointments, providing faster access to treatment where clinically appropriate.
Xenical vs Orlistat: Choose Your Preferred Option
Both Xenical 120mg and generic orlistat 120mg contain the same active ingredient and provide identical clinical effects. Xenical is the branded version manufactured by Roche, while generic orlistat offers the same fat-blocking benefits at a lower cost. Generic orlistat 4-week supply costs £29.69 with EDM10, while Xenical 4-week supply costs £38.69 with EDM10. Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
How the Private Prescription Process Works
Complete our secure online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines treatment suitability. If appropriate, your prescription is issued and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. Medications are dispatched with next-day delivery in discreet packaging. The prescription cost is included - no separate GP fees required.
Available Treatment Options and Pricing
We offer multiple pack sizes to suit different treatment durations. Orlistat 120mg: 2-week supply (42 capsules) £15.20, 4-week supply (84 capsules) £29.69, 8-week supply (168 capsules) £57.59, or 12-week supply (252 capsules) £86.39 with EDM10. Xenical 120mg: 2-week supply £19.35, 4-week supply £38.69, 8-week supply £78.29, or 12-week supply £116.09 with EDM10. All prices include 10% discount with code EDM10.
Clinical Assessment and Safety
Every private prescription requires clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers. Treatment suitability is determined based on your BMI, medical history, and individual health circumstances. Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 or above with weight-related health conditions. Like all prescription medicines, orlistat may cause side effects, most commonly gastrointestinal effects linked to dietary fat intake. These can be minimised by following a lower-fat diet as recommended.
