How should I use this medicine?

If you are taking the over-the-counter product to self-treat, read all directions on the product package before taking this medication.

If your doctor has prescribed this medication, read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start taking orlistat and each time you get a refill. Take this medication as directed by your doctor, by mouth with liquid sometime during each meal that contains fat or within 1 hour after the meal, usually 3 times daily.

If you miss a meal or your meal contains no fat, skip that dose of the medication. To decrease the chance of unpleasant side effects, it is very important that no more than 30% of the calories in your diet come from fat. Your daily intake of fat, protein, and carbohydrates should be evenly spread over 3 main meals.

Do not increase your dose or use this drug more often or for longer than prescribed. Your condition will not improve any faster, and your risk of side effects will increase. Because this drug can interfere with the absorption of certain vitamins (fat-soluble vitamins including A, D, E, and K), a daily multivitamin supplement containing these nutrients is recommended. Take the multivitamin at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking orlistat (such as at bedtime).

If you take cyclosporine, take it at least 3 hours before or after orlistat to make sure the full dose of cyclosporine is absorbed into your bloodstream. If you take levothyroxine, take it at least 4 hours before or after orlistat. You should see some weight loss within 2 weeks after you start orlistat. Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.

How Does Alli Work?

Orlistat (the active ingredient in Alli) promotes weight loss by decreasing the amount of dietary fat absorbed in your intestines.

Lipase, an enzyme found in the digestive tract, helps break down dietary fat into smaller components, so it can be used or stored for energy. Orlistat inhibits the work of lipase. When you take the drug with a meal, about 25 percent of the fat you consume isn't broken down and is eliminated through bowel movements.

How do I take Alli?

One 60-milligram Alli pill is taken within an hour of a fat-containing meal up to three times a day. Daily fat intake should be distributed over the three main meals and should be no more than 30 percent of total calories. The manufacturer recommends a fat intake of about 15 grams a meal.

If you eat a meal that contains no fat, then you don't need a dose of Alli. If you take Alli with a high-fat meal, you will likely experience more-severe gastrointestinal side effects.

Alli can reduce the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients, including beta carotene and vitamins A, D, E, and K. Take a multivitamin at bedtime and at least two hours after your last dose of Alli.

Indications:

Alli is used for managing obesity in overweight adults. It is also used to reduce the risk of weight regain after previous weight loss. It is used along with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet. Alli is a gastrointestinal lipase inhibitor. It works by blocking the digestion of fats from the diet.

Instructions: 

Use Alli as directed by your doctor.

Take Alli by mouth with each meal containing fat. Do not take more than 3 capsules daily.

 If a meal is missed or contains no fat, do not take a dose of Alli.

Alli may decrease your absorption of vitamins. Take a multivitamin once a day at bedtime.

If you also take a thyroid hormone (eg, levothyroxine), do not take it within 4 hours before or after Alli. Check with your doctor if you have questions.

If you also take cyclosporine, do not take it within 2 hours before or after Alli. Check with your doctor before you take Alli with cyclosporine.

If you miss a dose of Alli, take it as soon as you remember. Continue taking it as directed by your doctor. 

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Alli.

Warnings:

In addition to side effects, Alli may be harmful to your liver. In 2010, the FDA updated its requirements for the labeling of orlistat products to include safety information about a few cases of severe liver injury linked to the weight-loss pill. If you have a pre-existing liver condition or experience jaundice, severe itching, or dark urine, see your doctor.

As with all medications, take caution to purchase Alli from a reputable vendor and check the package closely before taking a pill. In 2014, product tampering was reported and resulted in a voluntary recall of the diet pills. Alli came back on the market with an updated package that makes it easier to see if the bottle has been opened.
