Product Information for Alli Weight Loss Tablets (60mg)

Buy Alli Online in the UK

You can buy Alli online from Oxford Online Pharmacy, a doctor's consultation isn't required, you will just need to answer a few short questions for the pharmacist. 

Alli is a lower-strength version of the prescription medication Orlistat. As it is a low dose it is available over the counter without a prescription. We will need you to answer a few simple questions to allow our pharmacists to make sure it is the right medication for you to use. Alli weight loss tablets should be used along with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. 

Alli can be used by individuals who are overweight, with a BMI >28. 

One 60mg capsule should be taken no more than three times a day. It can be taken immediately before, during, or up to one hour after a meal. If a meal is missed or contains no fat, the dose should be missed. 

How does Alli work? 

The main component of Alli is the drug Orlistat. This works by inhibiting the enzyme lipase which is produced within the stomach and by the pancreas. Lipase breaks down fats into their constituent components, enabling them to be absorbed by the gut. If this process is prevented, the fats essentially pass straight through the digestive system without being absorbed, resulting in reduced calorie intake and, hopefully over time, weight loss.
