How is Alli used?

One Alli capsule or chewable tablet is taken just before, during, or up to one hour after each main meal, three times a day. If a meal is missed or contains no fat, Alli should not be taken. The patient should be on a diet in which about 30% of the calories come from fat. The food in the diet should be spread over three main meals. Alli should not be taken for more than six months.

Patients taking Alli should start a diet and exercise regime before beginning treatment. If patients taking Alli have been unable to lose weight after 12 weeks, you should speak to an Everwell clinician. It may be necessary to stop treatment.
