Alli (orlistat 60 mg) is the only FDA-approved over-the-counter weight loss aid designed for adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or higher. It works in your digestive system to prevent about 25% of the fat you eat from being absorbed, supporting a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet. By blocking dietary fat absorption, Alli helps create the calorie deficit necessary for weight loss, making it easier to manage your intake and see tangible results. This non-systemic medication is intended as part of a comprehensive weight management plan that includes diet and exercise.

Common use
Alli is commonly used by adults aged 18 and older who are overweight (BMI ≥ 25) as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet and increased physical activity. It is suitable for individuals seeking a non-prescription option to support moderate weight loss—typically 5–10% of total body weight over six months. It is often incorporated into lifestyle modification programs to enhance dietary adherence and help manage occasional dietary indulgences without derailing progress.
Dosage and direction
Take one capsule (60 mg orlistat) with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. The medication should be taken during the meal or up to one hour after eating. If a meal is missed or contains no fat, omit the dose. A well-balanced, reduced-calorie diet averaging 30% calories from fat is recommended for optimal efficacy and to minimize gastrointestinal side effects. Daily fat intake should be distributed evenly across meals.
Precautions
- Not intended for use by individuals with a BMI below 25.
- Should not be used by pregnant or breastfeeding women.
- Long-term use should be supervised by a healthcare provider.
- May reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K); a daily multivitamin supplement taken at least 2 hours before or after Alli is recommended.
- Use with caution in patients with history of hyperoxaluria or calcium oxalate kidney stones.
- Not recommended for people with organ transplant or taking cyclosporine.
Contraindications
- Chronic malabsorption syndrome
- Cholestasis
- Hypersensitivity to orlistat or any component of the formulation
- Anorexia nervosa or bulimia
- Concomitant use with acarbose or other weight loss products
Possible side effects
Common side effects are largely gastrointestinal and related to fat excretion, and may include:
- Oily spotting
- Gas with discharge
- Urgent need to have a bowel movement
- Oily or fatty stools
- Increased number of bowel movements
- Inability to control bowel movements
These effects are generally temporary and may lessen over time as dietary fat is reduced.
Drug interaction
Orlistat may interact with:
- Cyclosporine (reduced absorption)
- Warfarin (monitor INR closely)
- Levothyroxine (may cause hypothyroidism)
- Antiepileptic drugs such as valproate and lamotrigine
- Amiodarone
- Fat-soluble vitamins (supplement separately as directed)
Consult a healthcare provider before starting Alli if taking any prescription medications.
Missed dose
If you miss a dose, resume with the next meal containing fat. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
Overdose
There have been no reports of serious overdose. In cases of excessive intake, medical attention should be sought. Symptoms would likely mirror common side effects but more severe, such as significant gastrointestinal discomfort. Supportive care is recommended.
Storage
Store at room temperature (20–25°C or 68–77°F). Keep the bottle tightly closed and away from moisture and light. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Individual results may vary. Use as directed with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet and regular physical activity.

Criticisms typically focus on gastrointestinal side effects, especially during the initial adjustment period or after high-fat meals. Overall, it is regarded as a useful tool for those committed to a structured weight management plan.
