About Alli

Containing the active ingredient Orlistat, Alli has been medically designed to assist those looking to lose weight. When combined with a low-calorie, reduced-fat diet, this medication provides an effective weight loss solution for those struggling with obesity by targeting the fat in your digestive system.

It is recommended that you begin by trying to lose weight through a regular healthy eating plan and exercise program, but if you have found that this is not effective enough, then the use of Alli can support you in taking the next step.

Alli Summary Information

The information provided in the summary table is for reference only. It is important to consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting any weight loss treatment, including Alli.

How does Alli work?

Orlistat, the active ingredient in Alli, works by preventing your body from absorbing the fat you’ve ingested during meals by attaching itself to the enzymes which break down fat for absorption.

In this way, the medication stops the intestines taking in up to 25% of the fat that you eat, meaning that for every 2lb of fat you lose with a low-calorie diet, Alli will help you naturally lose 1lb extra.

This excess fat is passed from your body via your bowel movements, ultimately helping you to lose weight.

Alternatives to Alli

Several alternatives for Alli are available, with each medication having a different mechanism of action, a different degree of effectiveness and varying suitability for different individuals.

Below are some of these alternatives and their comparison with Allie:

• Xenical

Xenical, much like Alli, works by preventing your body from absorbing some of the fat from your meal. Xenical is a prescription-only medication with a dose of 120mg, which can stop your body from absorbing about one-third of the fat from each meal. On the other hand, Alli is available over the counter and has a dose of 60mg, which stops your body from absorbing about one-quarter of the fat from being digested. It's important to note that Xenical is only available with a prescription because you must meet specific criteria for it to be safe and suitable.

• Saxenda

Saxenda is a prescription-only injectable medication you use once per day. It acts on certain brain areas to reduce hunger and slow digestion, making you feel sated for longer, whereas Alli works by decreasing the fat your body absorbs from your food.

• Orlistat

Orlistat and Alli have the same active ingredient, with Orlistat being the generic form. Therefore, they work precisely the same way by preventing your body from absorbing fat from your meals. However, Orlistat is only available by prescription and comes in a higher dose. It can block the absorption of up to one-third of the fat from your meals. On the other hand, Alli is available over the counter and can prevent your body from absorbing about one-quarter of the fat from your meals.

• Mysimba

Mysimba is a prescription-only medication containing the active ingredients naltrexone and bupropion. You take the tablet once or twice per day. It acts on particular brain regions, depressing your appetite and making you feel fuller for longer periods. This makes you want to eat less, helping you lose weight.
