Alli, which is Orlistat 60mg, disables pancreatic lipase which is an enzyme of the digestive tract and which breaks down the fat (calories) in the food to facilitate its absorption. In other words, Alli blocks the absorption of fats. The unabsorbed fats get excreted through the stools.

Dosage of Alli.

Diet pill Alli is to be taken with meals thrice a day. It is necessary to take care that your meal does not contain more than 15 grams of fats, as then certain side effects will manifest.

Buying Alli.

Alli is the only weight loss drug that can be purchased over the counter without prescription. You could buy it from any chemist or druggist or licensed retailer without a prescription.

Alli  Weight Loss and Weight Control.

A study conducted, concluded that only weight loss diet and exercise helped obese people lose an average of 5.8 lbs while combination of weight loss diet, exercise and  Alli pills helped lose 3 to 5 lbs more. Safe estimates will be that you could lose 50% more weight with Alli tablests, weight loss diet and exercise than with weight loss diet and exercise alone. Alli helps in both weight loss and weight control.

Disadvantage of Alli in Weight Loss Treatment.

• Alli not only stops fats from being absorbed but also stops nutrients such as fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.

• Most of the weight loss with Alli is achieved within the first six months. However, the disadvantage is that weight gain starts on stopping Alli. Therefore many people continue taking Alli for weight control for indefinite periods to maintain a healthy weight.

Precautions Before Taking Alli.

Always inform your doctor of your medical history and whether you are on any medicines or supplements before starting Alli, especially if you are on

• Anticoagulants (blood thinners).
• Blood pressure medicines
• Medication for diabetes
• Medication for under active thyroid disease.
• Having history of gall stones.
• Having history of pancreatitis.
• Any liver disease.

Side Effects of Alli.

• Oily discharge from the anus.
• Flatulence.
• Increased frequency of stools.
• Fecal incontinence.

These side effects can be reduced by eating a low fat diet.

Contraindications for Alli.

Alli is contraindicated in the following conditions.

• When you are not obese or overweight.
• Malabsorption Syndrome. Alli works by blocking the absorption of fats and fat soluble vitamins. There is loss of nutrients due to this action of Alli. In malabsorption syndrome, there is already decreased absorption of nutrients. Taking Alli when malabsorption is already present will only worsen the situation and cause serious deficiency of nutrients.
• Baraitric surgery patients. Alli is contraindicated in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery where part of the intestine is bypassed or removed and a great deal of absorption is reduced due to this reason. This does cause deficiency of nutrients and taking Alli will only worsen the condition.
• Inflammatory bowel disease also causes nutritional deficiency due to reduced absorption as a result of inflamed intestines. Taking Alli in presence of this condition will only worsen this condition.
• Eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bilumia nervosa which cause malnutrition are also contraindications for taking Alli as the condition of malnutrition can worsen.
• Organ Transplant and Cyclosporines. When a person undergoes an organ transplant, it becomes necessary to suppress his or her immunity. This is because the immune system views the transplanted organ as a foreign body and will attack it, causing it to get rejected. This can be a life and death situation for the patient. Therefore, to suppress the immune system, cyclosporines are given to such patients. When Alli (Orlistal) is given simultaneously with cyclosporines, Alli reduces the level of cyclosporines causing it to be ineffective. This can trigger organ rejection.
