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 primarily 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 in those with a BMI of 27 kg/m² or greater who have at least one weight-related condition. 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 intended for those looking to manage their weight through a combination of medication, diet, and exercise.

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, and more frequent or urgent 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 gastrointestinal discomfort.

What precautions apply to Orlistat?

ALLI 60 mg capsules should be taken as directed, and it is important to follow a reduced-calorie diet to minimize potential side effects. The medication should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. It is advisable to consult a healthcare provider before starting ALLI, especially if you have any pre-existing medical conditions or are taking other medications.

What does Orlistat interact with?

ALLI 60 mg capsules may interact with certain medications, including cyclosporine, warfarin, and diabetes medications. It is also important to avoid taking ALLI with high-fat meals, as this can increase the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects. Additionally, consuming alcohol while taking ALLI may affect the medication's effectiveness and should be discussed with a healthcare provider.
