458072 tn?1291415186 Peggy -- my endo gave me a script for Xenical, which is a prescription strength of the same med that's in Alli. Xenical is not covered by insurance and is about $300/month, which I could not afford. After talking to my pharmacist, I did get some Alli and started on it -- it works, I just didn't follow through with it.
561964 tn?1283798616 You can find it in Walmart or a pharmacy. You take a pill with each meal and it binds some of the fat from your food so it is elminated. Of course, a lowfat diet and exercise is required. I was doing the lowfat and exercise before and didn't lose an ounce. With Alli, it's helping me to lose the weight and is definitely noticeable. Just 6 lbs off so far. I have energy, not tired, no mood swings. Just ask your doctor first if you can take it.
Avatar n tn Usually with Lyrica you are better off using a sensible diet and exercise would be more beneficial. Diet pills do not work for anyone in my book. If anything try Alli, it may be your best bet. If not Weight Watchers would be a good idea.
Avatar f tn I would advise you to trya and enter your Diet medication and your thyroid meds at a web-site such as "Drugs.com, they have a good Interactions Checker, and the site is free. We do not have a Data Base to check interactions with all medications.
Avatar n tn I just recently started the Alli orlistat 60mg diet pills and since them I have had these orange greesy bowels floating in the tolet. Is there a problem I need to be aware of?
208737 tn?1267673826 I also did Alli and Barb is right, it works but if you eat too much fat or grease (and sometimes what you think has little grease really has a lot, like a McDonalds egg mcmuffin) you will pay the price and sometimes it's a not so fun price to pay. I know this sounds gross but if you eat something high in grease, it will leak out without you knowing and it does NOT wash out!
484167 tn?1210001396 no i am not overweight according to the BMI scale but i would like to lose 50% more weight than diet and exercise alone (which is what alli says it does)...why should i have to be overweight to do so?
1110747 tn?1295844043 I actually asked a pharmacist if it was ok to take, and she said that it causes a lot of problems with people. If you read the back you'll see a list of possible side effects. If I were you I'd try something like slim fast. I went to their website and they say it's ok to take before you get pregnant and even while you are pregnant, there's nothing in it to make you lose weight it's just a milk shake and the snack bars are like a not so junky candy bar.
Avatar n tn I have low thyroid and I am taking Armour 30MG,can I take Alli for weight loss while taking Armour?
393685 tn?1425812522 Allthough - some NON thyroid patients can see benefits using Alli (Orlistat) medication, cautions and testing on thyroid patients on any forms of Levothyroxine can see changes ( for the bad) in there hypothyroidism while taking this medication. The FDA released in March 09 that it now requires the manufacturer of Alli to safety label the drug with certain information. Below is the new safety label that is now required on all Xenical weight loss information.
Avatar f tn i went to the docs and they weighed me at 151lbs in june. and in late aug i bought a scale and it said i was 141lb. woohoo! it's now oct i losted 3 1/2 inches total. i dont know how much i weigh now cause i returned the scale. :-( but to the people who are lazy like me ;-) this pill works.
Avatar m tn Hi I used to take alli last year for maybe 2-2.5 months last year then stopped and took some for a week in march this year. Though I stopped taking them as I noticed one of the serious side affects were hepatitis. Does anyone know what types of hepatitis can be contracted by taking alli tablets .
Avatar m tn With different drugs there are all sorts of subleties that might be relevant in terms of absorption etc and Alli may affect those aspects, but it has no effect whatever on HIV testing. Yes, I did suspect!
Avatar m tn I had a negative duo test , and about 2-3 weeks before it I used alli tablets a few times for less than a week .
Avatar n tn I have taken birth control pills for several years and recently have been taking alli as well. I called Alli before starting to use their product and they assurred me that it would not interfere with my birth control. I take my birth control RELIGIOUSLY and have not missed , however this month my period is very very light. Can Orlistat and the pill be taken together without causing the pill to be ineffective?
380558 tn?1309042387 i took it at 6:30 am and 11:00 am an later it would mess with my sleep
Avatar f tn I agree with Mammo 100 percent. I might add that, Charla, if you want to lose weight, the best way is to increase activity level to where you break a sweat every day, increase protein intake, reduce carbs, and drink lots of water before you meals, and no snacks, no sodas, no deserts. Make a graph chart, so you can plot your weight loss, and when you reach a goal, treat yourself to a new blouse or shoes. Those diet supplements do not work.
Avatar f tn Thus we absorb only the required percent of fat and unwanted fat is removed. Alli works only on body fat so it has no side effect like other diet pills. Alli declared safe to use and it is available without any prescription over the chemist counter. Alli can really help you to lose more weight than you plan to lose, in a less time than your other diet plans. http://www.chemistdirect.co.uk/alli/alli.
Avatar n tn I have been taking Alli Weight Loss pills for about 2 months now and have had 2 yeast infections. I have not had a yeast infection for over 10 years so this is not normal for me. Has anyone else experienced a yeast infection or recurring yeast infections while on this weight loss program?
Avatar f tn Yes, Alli does work and it's approved by the FDA; and if you follow the protocol, it does teach you to eat healthier. The problem with Alli is that if you don't follow the program properly, there are some unpleasant "side effects", so if you decide to try that make sure you read up on it and know what you are getting into before you start.
380558 tn?1309042387 I've added a total of 5 and I'm done for today.. LOL.. hope this helps!
Avatar f tn Hi i have had 2 children and i was on azathioprine for my colitis and both of my girls are fine my colitis goes into remision when im pregnant they should give out pregnacy hormones to keep it in remision lol.
1597891 tn?1298849279 I have been doing research and I really like the Alli pills because they seem to work based on the forums and things I have read. Now, has anyone else read them?? Another thing, I would love to start dieting and thing but my boyfriend doesnt want to start eating healthy, he loves McDonalds and places like that. I would like to start cooking more, but money is tight. How can I cook healthy meals that he will like?
380558 tn?1309042387 Honey if you keep going like this your going to sprout wings and get a halo!!!!You are a strong person and it is great to read the good things.
558991 tn?1226060828 Because of her ADHD, she has become a compulsive eater and is now very obese. Now that she is 18, she wants to try weight loss pills like Alli and Lipozene. I advised her against it, saying diet and excersise are the best options, but she has a lot of trouble loosing weight, like most of my family. I am very worried that Concerta mixed with any weight loss medications can cause problems. Are my fears rational? Thanks.
