Great question! Going off the manufacturers recommendation it should be taken with the meal or up to one hour after the meal. Theres something called a half life when it comes to all medications. This is the time it takes for half of the drug to be metabolized (in this case removed from the body). Alli has a one hour half life. So taking it one hour before means by the time you eat half of the drug is gone.
@@MediMind-Pharmacy ohhh I get it if I take it before the pills in my system will be gone in 1 hour and it won’t work I get so after a meal works then why we gotta wait after one hour not drinking it after meal right away?
@@reppinNY Exactly! And you don't need to wait the one hour. And you can take it with the meal as well or WITHIN one hour. Not one hour after. My apologies for the confusion.
@@MediMind-Pharmacy ohhhh so it like if I eat at 5pm just make sure you drink during those hour that’s like saying drink the pills 30min after a meal and 30 min because it still on that hour I can drink at 5:30 if I eat at 5 I got it because I was so confused like why it not working I even use to eat grease food to test it out it wasn’t pooping oily so for me im like alli not working anymore or i did something wrong i use to drink it before meal so now you explain imma start monday if I lose weight I’ll come back here and let you know
Hello Emma. Alli is available at major retailers such as Walmart, as grace stated. You can also try Walgreens, CVS, Target, or any other major retailer who sells over the counter products. Hope that helped!
@@bntsyria3325 Yes it has been shown to be effective in studies. However it is important to know it works on decreasing the absorption of fat from the foods we consume. High fat foods include a lot of fast foods such as burgers and pizzas. So if your diet isn't to fatty it may not be the best option.
Hello Annette! The package insert does not mention any gluten contents, However if you do have any GI issues, such as a gluten intolerance, I highly suggest you speak with your GI specialist before trying anything over the counter. This is especially important for medications that can have an impact on absorption.
The manufacturer states it is for patients 18 years or older. Please contact your pediatrician before giving any adolescent over the counter medications!
Thinking about it
Can i take orlistate with ozempic?
Does it help with existing fat in the body?
Unfortunately it doesn't directly target fat. However if your diet is high in fat, it can result in a caloric deficit indirectly burning existing fat.
i have in bahrain

So if you eat at 5PM make sure you take it before 6PM. Please let me known if that clears it up!
