Take one Alli capsule (60mg) with each main meal containing fat. Do not exceed three capsules per day.
Timing is key: Take Alli with each meal, not afterwards. This ensures the medication works alongside your body’s natural fat digestion process.
Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, simply skip it and take your next dose as scheduled. Don’t double up on doses.
Meal Considerations: Alli works best with meals containing fat. However, completely fat-free meals do not require Alli.
Combining with other medications: Alli may interact with some medications. Consult your doctor before using Alli if you’re currently taking other drugs, particularly blood thinners or medications for diabetes.
Possible Side Effects: Common side effects include oily spotting, gas, and frequent bowel movements. These are usually mild and temporary. Severe side effects are rare but require immediate medical attention.
| Oily spotting | Common | May be reduced by adjusting fat intake. |
| Gas | Common | May be reduced by gradually increasing Alli dosage. |
| Frequent bowel movements | Common | Adjust fat intake or reduce Alli dosage if needed. |
| Severe abdominal pain | Rare | Seek immediate medical attention. |
Dietary Changes: Alli is more effective when combined with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet and regular exercise. This approach supports overall weight management.
Consult your doctor: Always consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting Alli, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking other medications.
