Alli Generic (Orlistat)
Alli is a 60 milligram, over the counter version of orlistat (Xenical), a 120 milligram prescription drug.
Both Alli and Xenical are meant to be used as part of a
weight-loss plan that includes a low-calorie, low-fat diet and regular physical
activity.
Alli is approved for
use in adults 18 and older who have a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or more.
Xenical is approved for use in adults with a BMI of 30 or more (obese), and
those with a BMI of 27 to 29 (overweight) who have other health risk factors
such as high blood pressure or diabetes.
alli is an FDA
approved weight loss supplement that helps block about 25 percent of the fat
you eat from being absorbed. Acts as an effective weight loss product and diet
pill for both women and men
For every 5 pounds, you lose through diet and exercise, Alli can help you lose 2 to 3 more.
alli weight loss
supplement works in the digestive tract and is minimally absorbed into the
bloodstream, so there are no direct effects on the cardiovascular or central
nervous system.
alli capsules are a
weight loss pill for overweight adults, 18 years and older when used along
with a reduced calorie and low fat diet.
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.
Dosage:
The recommended dose
of alli (orlistat 60 mg) for overweight adults 18 years and older is 1 60-mg
capsule with each meal containing fat.
- do not exceed 3 capsules daily
- Use a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet
until you reach your weight loss goal.
Most weight loss
occurs within the first 6 months. If you stop using Alli (orlistat 60 mg),
continue with a diet and exercise program. If you start to regain weight after
you stop taking Alli (orlistat 60 mg), you may need to start taking Alli (orlistat 60 mg) again along with your diet and exercise program.

Where should I keep my medicine?
Store Alli between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees
C). Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Do not store it in the bathroom.
Keep Alli out of the reach of children and away from pets.
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.
