Why Choose Private Prescription for Weight Loss?
Fast Access Without NHS Delays
Getting weight loss medication through the NHS often involves long waiting times for GP appointments and potential referrals. Our private prescription service allows you to access Xenical, orlistat, and Alli quickly through a simple online consultation. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your health information and can issue a prescription where clinically appropriate, typically within hours rather than weeks.
Your Weight Loss Medication Options
We offer three clinically proven weight loss treatments through private prescription. Xenical 120mg is the original branded version, containing orlistat which works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Generic orlistat 120mg contains the same active ingredient at a lower cost - 4 weeks costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) compared to £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10) for branded Xenical. Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength option for those preferring to start with half the prescription dose.
How Private Prescribing Works
Complete our comprehensive online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Our UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information to determine whether Xenical or orlistat is suitable for your individual circumstances. If approved, your prescription is sent directly to our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester for dispensing and next day delivery. The entire process typically takes 24-48 hours from consultation to delivery.
Clinical Assessment and Suitability
Private prescription doesn't mean lower standards - our prescribers follow the same clinical guidelines as NHS doctors. Orlistat and Xenical may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 and above with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. The prescriber assesses your individual suitability based on your medical history, current health status, and treatment goals. Not everyone will be eligible, and the final prescribing decision rests with the qualified healthcare professional.
Flexible Treatment Packages
Choose from multiple pack sizes to suit your treatment plan. Start with a 2-week trial (42 capsules) for £21.50 with Xenical or £16.89 with generic orlistat. Longer-term packages offer better value - 12 weeks of generic orlistat costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10), while Xenical 12-week supply is £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). All orders qualify for 10% off with code EDM10, and we offer free next day delivery on orders over £40.
Ongoing Support and Monitoring
Private prescription provides access to ongoing clinical support throughout your treatment. Our prescribers can adjust your treatment plan, provide guidance on managing side effects, and offer dietary advice to maximise effectiveness. Unlike one-off NHS consultations, private prescribing allows for regular review and treatment optimisation. Remember, orlistat works best alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and should be part of a comprehensive weight management approach.
