When using this product

• take a multivitamin containing vitamins A, D, E, K, and beta-carotene once daily at bedtime is recommended. Orlistat inhibits 25% of dietary fat, and may reduce the absorption of some fat-soluble vitamins. alli and a multivitamin should not be taken at the same time to gain the most benefit of a multivitamin. However, if they are taken at the same time, at least 70% of the fat-soluble vitamins would be absorbed.
• follow a well-balanced, reduced-calorie, low-fat diet. Try starting this diet before taking alli capsules.
• alli capsules work by preventing the absorption of some of the fat you eat. The fat passes out of your body so you may have bowel changes. You may get:
  • gas with oily spotting
  • loose stools
  • more frequent stools that may be hard to control

Eating a low-fat diet lowers the chance of having these bowel changes.

For every 5 pounds you lose from diet alone, alli can help you lose 2-3 pounds more. In studies, most people lost 5-10 pounds over 6 months.
