Alli that is pronounced "al-EYE," is an over-the-counter
weight-loss drug that was approved by the Food and Drug Administration
in February. It arrived in stores earlier this month. The
Alli capsules prevent your body from absorbing about a quarter
of the fat you eat.
GlaxoSmithKlein touts alli as the only FDA-approved weight
loss product available without a prescription. It says the
drug can help people lose 50 percent more weight than by diet
alone.
The company recommends that the pill be combined with an overall
diet plan that includes meal planning and exercise. It says
that users should consult with a dietitian before go to start
Alli diet pill, which is essentially a half-strength version
of the prescription weight-loss drug Xenical.
While it stresses the pill is not dangerous, GlaxoSmithKlein
says that taking alli while eating fatty foods may cause gas
with oily spotting and frequent stools that may be loose and
hard to control.
Alli and Xenical reduce the intake of fat soluble vitamins.
That's why users should take vitamins while they're on the
drugs. The drug has already attracted some controversy. Television
networks recently rejected an ad from the diet pill industry
depicting the dangers of taking alli, but the spot has made
the rounds on the Internet.
Still mostly people have lots of questions
about new diet
drug alli. First thing customers want to know about the
working of this drug and its side effects. Its really good
idea if users aware about the possible side effects.
Terri Storms, a pharmacist at Village Pharmacy in Gray's Creek,
said last week that the store is on a back order list for
alli. Even though the store didn't have the pills in stock,
Storms said some customers have been asking about it.
Storms said alli may be an option for some people, but they
shouldn't expect it will cure their weight-loss woes. She
said some trial studies showed that people who took alli gained
their weight back after a year.
Storms said that there is no magic bullet for weight control
.It's definitely OK for them to try, but they have to look
at the bigger picture. Dieting involves eating less and exercising
more for better results.
