Alli Weight Loss Capsules 60mg (Orlistat)

Buy Alli Weight Loss Capsules

Alli Weight Loss Capsules are clinically proven to help you lose more weight than dieting alone. Each easy-to-take capsule works by stopping around a quarter of the fat in your meals from being absorbed. Used alongside a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet, Alli can help boost your results: for every 2lb you lose through diet alone, it can help you lose an extra 1lb.

Alli is available as a pack of 84 hard capsules, each containing 60mg of orlistat, and is designed for adults with a BMI of 28 or above who are classed as overweight. If you’re unsure of your BMI, the NHS BMI calculator can work this out for you.

How Alli Weight Loss Capsules Work

The active ingredient in Alli is orlistat, which targets fat in the digestive system rather than acting on appetite or metabolism. It blocks the absorption of around a quarter of the fat consumed in a meal, which then passes out of the body through stools rather than being stored.

Alli is intended to be used alongside a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet and an exercise programme, continuing until a personal weight loss goal is reached. It is not designed to replace dietary changes, but to support and enhance them.

Directions for Use

Alli should always be taken exactly as described in the patient information leaflet, or as advised by a doctor or pharmacist. It should be used alongside a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet and exercise plan.

• Adults aged 18 and over: take one capsule with every meal that contains fat
• Do not exceed 3 capsules per day
• A daily multivitamin, taken at bedtime, is recommended while using Alli
• Keep meals and snacks within your recommended calorie and fat targets to reduce the likelihood of side effects

Multivitamin use is recommended because orlistat can reduce the absorption of certain fat-soluble vitamins. Calorie and fat targets vary by gender, activity level, and starting weight, and are set out in more detail in the patient information leaflet.

Who Can Take Alli?

Alli is designed for adults aged 18 and over with a BMI of 28 or above. It is not suitable for everyone, and certain groups should avoid it altogether or seek medical advice before starting treatment.

Alli does not directly reduce the effectiveness of the contraceptive pill, but diarrhoea experienced while taking it can do so. If this occurs, an additional method of contraception should be used until symptoms pass.

Interactions With Other Medicines

Anyone taking or recently having taken any medication, including products obtained without a prescription, should speak to a healthcare provider before starting Alli. Alli should not be taken alongside warfarin or ciclosporin.

It’s also important to tell a healthcare provider if any of the following are being taken, as they may interact with orlistat:

• Amiodarone (for heart rhythm problems)
• Acarbose (for type 2 diabetes)
• Thyroid medicines, such as levothyroxine
• Epilepsy medicines
• HIV medicines
• Medicines for depression, psychiatric disorders, or anxiety
• Medicines for high blood pressure or high cholesterol

Side Effects

Like all medicines, Alli can cause side effects in some people, though not everyone will experience them. Reported side effects include gas with oily spotting, loose stools, and more frequent stools that may be harder to control. A full list is available in the patient information leaflet, and any side effects, including those not listed, can be reported via the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme.

Emergency medical attention should be sought immediately if signs of a severe allergic reaction appear, including swelling of the face or throat, skin rash, breathing difficulties, or loss of consciousness.

Pregnancy, Breastfeeding and Age Restrictions

Alli is not suitable for anyone under 18. It should not be taken during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding, thinks they may be pregnant, or is planning a pregnancy should seek advice from a doctor or pharmacist before taking Alli or any new product.

Store Alli Weight Loss Capsules below 25°C in a cool, dry place, out of sight and reach of children. Do not use after the expiry date shown on the packaging, which refers to the last day of the stated month. Unused medicines should not be disposed of via wastewater or household waste.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Alli suitable for everyone trying to lose weight?

No. Alli is specifically intended for adults with a BMI of 28 or above who are classed as overweight, and is not suitable for people who are not overweight or who have certain underlying health conditions.

Do I need a multivitamin while taking Alli?

A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime is recommended, since orlistat can reduce the absorption of some fat-soluble vitamins from food.

What happens if I eat a high-fat meal while taking Alli?

Consuming more fat than recommended increases the likelihood of side effects such as diarrhoea, so meals and snacks should be kept within the calorie and fat targets outlined in the patient information leaflet.

Can I buy Alli without a prescription?

Alli is available as a pharmacy medicine following an online or in-store consultation to confirm it’s suitable, rather than requiring a full prescription — always check current requirements before ordering.
