Is alli® right for me?

alli® (Orlistat 60mg capsules) is a weight loss aid for overweight adults, 18 years and older, when used along with a reduced-calorie and low-fat diet. Your practitioner will assess if it right for you after working out your BMI.

How does alli® work for me?

• alli® works by preventing about 25% of fat in the foods that you eat from being absorbed.
• This undigested fat then passes out of the body, so the number of calories that enter your system is reduced.
• There is minimal absorption in the bloodstream, which means alli® doesn’t affect the cardiovascular and nervous systems.
• Clinical studies have shown that, for every 2 pounds you lose through diet and exercise, alli® can help you lose one more.

When is the best time for me to take alli®?

• You should take alli® with a meal containing fat. Aim for about 15 grams of fat per meal.
• Do not exceed more than three capsules daily.

Organ transplant alert

Do not use:
• if you are taking Cyclosporine
• if you have been diagnosed with problems absorbing food

Ask your doctor or pharmacist before use if you are:

• taking Warfarin (blood thinning medicine), or taking medicine for diabetes or thyroid disease. Your medication dose may need to be adjusted.
• taking medication for seizures
• taking other weight loss products

When using this product:

• take a multivitamin once a day, at bedtime. Orlistat can reduce the absorption of some vitamins.
• follow a well-balanced, reduced-calorie, low fat diet. Try starting this diet before taking Orlistat.
• Orlistat works by preventing the absorption of some of the fat you eat. The fat passes out of your body, so you may have bowel changes.

You may get:

• gas with oily spotting
• loose stools
• more frequent stools that may be hard to control
• eating a low fat diet lowers the chance of having these bowel changes
• for every 5 pounds you lose from diet alone, Orlistat can help you lose 2-3 pounds more. In studies, most people lost 5-10 pounds over 6 months.

Discontinue use and consult your practitioner if:

• you develop itching, yellow eyes or skin, dark urine or loss of appetite. There have been rare reports of liver injury in people taking Orlistat.
• severe or continuous abdominal pain occurs. This may be a sign of a serious medical condition.
• you are taking medicine for seizures and your seizures happen more often or get worse.
