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 for weight management in adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater, or a BMI of 27 or greater with other risk factors like high blood pressure or diabetes. Orlistat works by inhibiting enzymes that break down fats in the digestive tract, 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 stools, gas, and occasional loss of bowel control. These effects are typically mild and temporary, often resolving as the body adjusts to the medication. Some users may experience more frequent bowel movements or difficulty controlling them, especially if high-fat meals are consumed.

What precautions apply to Orlistat?

ALLI 60 mg capsules should be taken with a meal or up to one hour after eating. It is important to follow a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet to minimize gastrointestinal side effects. Avoid taking ALLI if you have chronic malabsorption syndrome or a history of gallbladder problems. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

What does Orlistat interact with?

ALLI 60 mg capsules may interact with certain medications, including cyclosporine, warfarin, and diabetes medications. Alcohol can also increase the risk of side effects. It is advisable to discuss all current medications and supplements with a healthcare provider to avoid potential interactions. Orlistat can affect the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, so a multivitamin may be recommended.
