What is Orlistat?

ALLI 60 mg capsules contain orlistat, a weight management aid designed to support dietary efforts. This FDA-approved medication helps block fat absorption, aiding in weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie diet.

What is Orlistat used for?

ALLI 60 mg capsules are used as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and regular physical activity for weight management in adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or greater, or a BMI of 27 kg/m² or greater with at least one weight-related condition such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes. Orlistat works by inhibiting enzymes that break down fats in the digestive system, reducing the amount of fat absorbed. People often ask, 'What is Alli used for?' It is primarily used for weight loss and maintaining weight after initial loss.

What are the side effects of Orlistat?

Common effects of Alli 60 mg capsules may include changes in bowel habits, such as oily spotting, gas with oily discharge, loose stools, and more frequent bowel movements. These effects are typically related to the medication's action on fat absorption and are more likely to occur if the diet is high in fat. Some users may also experience mild stomach discomfort or headaches.

What precautions apply to Orlistat?

ALLI 60 mg capsules should be taken as directed, typically with meals containing fat. It is important to follow a balanced, reduced-calorie diet to minimize gastrointestinal side effects. Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as chronic malabsorption or gallbladder problems, should consult a healthcare provider before using this medication. Always store Alli in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

What does Orlistat interact with?

ALLI 60 mg capsules may interact with certain medications, including cyclosporine, warfarin, and diabetes medications. It is advisable to discuss all current medications with a healthcare provider before starting Alli. Additionally, Alli can reduce the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), so a daily multivitamin may be recommended. Avoid taking Alli with high-fat meals to minimize side effects.
