What is Alli?
By now you should have heard of Alli – the latest magic pill diet pills that claim that you are able to block more with the pill than exercise or dieting! What really excite people is that, Alli is said to be the first FDA approved, over the counter diet drug.
If you are in US, you can buy Alli without prescription of doctor. It is believed that Alli will shake the diet industry which is full of ads with bogus claims. In fact, Alli is selling like hot cake in pharmacies.
How does Alli work? A standard prescription does of 120 mg, three times daily before the meals, Allie prevents approximately 30% of dietary fat from being absorbed to the body. Those fats are attached go into the intestine and pass out through bowel. Note that higher doses do not product more significant effects.
Is Alli recommended? Contrary to what you want to believe, Alli is NOT a magic bullet! Dr. Charles Ganley, FDA’s director of nonprescription products, said that “Using this drug alone is unlikely to be beneficial.” Alli has to be used with conjunction of low fat, reduced diet and exercise regime. The manufacturer also advice taking multivitamin once a day, at least two hours before taking the drugs.
Suffice to say, most diet pills do work at initially stage because you tend to get motivated and watch your diet more carefully. It’s still early to tell if Alli is effective.
As long term side effects of new drugs will only be observed after few years in the market, hopefully Allie does not become like Vioxx (previously approved by FDA, but was drawn from market due to potential long term harm). Leigh Peele, a fitness expert, even predicted that you are going to see ads by lawyers saying “Are you or a loved one suffering from the effects of taking the drug Allie”?
