Drug NameAlli (Orlistat)
Drug UsesAlli is the only FDA approved, over-the-counter weight loss product, represented as an innovative weight loss program. With Alli, you can lose about 50% more weight than with just dieting alone.
How TakenFor overweight adults 18 and older, take 1 capsule with each meal containing fat. Use with a reduced calorie, low-fat diet and exercise program until you reach your weight loss goal. Most weight loss occurs in the first 6 months.
Drug Class and MechanismAlli blocks about 25% of the fat you eat. Typically, enzymes in your intestines break down fat from food so your body can absorb the fat. But, the active ingredient in Alli attaches to some of these enzymes and prevents them from digesting about a quarter of the fat you eat. Because undigested fat can't be absorbed, it passes out of your body instead of turning into calories.
Missed DoseIf you miss a dose of Alli, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.

Storage Store Alli at room temperature, between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C). Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Keep Alli out of the reach of children and away from pets.

Many individuals really need help with their dieting and Alli can make them the whole process a lot easier, since alli is not just a diet pill, it's actually a weight loss program, a plan to follow, a way to learn how to eat healthy and how to do healthy things for their body, to feel and function better. The one thing that Alli does very well is that it teaches you how to start eating low-fat foods, because Alli works with fats in your body. It blocks them from being absorbed by your digestive system and when that happens, your body does not store fat anymore; it gets rid of it effectively, through your digestive system.
