Alli – FDA Approved Diet Pill

Alli may well be the most talked about, argued about and advertised diet pills product that the world has ever seen. No other diet pills can boast the status Alli has as the only diet pills both approved by the American Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) and available without a prescription from a doctor. As far as losing weight with diet pills is concerned, the Alli diet pill is the subject of many (and perhaps the most) reviews, and is quite possibly one of the most available of all weight-loss medications.

No Alli review would be complete without noting that the Alli diet pill is manufactured by the well-known pharmaceutical company. GlaxoSmithKline. The Alli diet pill is a milder potency version of Xenical, a weight loss drug only available by prescription. The Alli diet pill has Orlistat as an active ingredient.

How Does Alli Diet Pill Work?

Next up in this Alli review is to talk about how the Alli diet pill works. Orlistat prevents around twenty seven percent of the fat you eat from being broken down by your stomach and gastro-intestinal tract, and that’s from everything you eat, too. The fat that remains undigested moves naturally through the gastro-intestinal system, leaving the body by way of natural waste elimination (bowel movements).

This Alli review would still be incomplete if we didn’t tell you that research studies have estimated  that for every 2 pounds of weight loss, Alli helps you lose an additional 1 pound. When you think about it, this is an increase of a further fifty percent in efficiency! So, does Alli work? Yes, it would seem that Alli is one of the diet pills that work. Alli weight loss pills do what the manufacturer claims, and the government of the United States (via their Food and Drug Administration) agrees. It would seem that Alli is ideal among weight-loss medications for weight control/weight management.

Does Alli have Side Effects?

An essential aspect of any Alli review would be to review the side effects of these diet pills. Obviously the Alli diet pill has a lot going for it, but there is one side effect that disrupts its reputation slightly. After being introduced to the American market in the autumn of 2007, many users of these diet pill complained about a side effect that has since been called the ‘Alli-Oops.’ Since Orlistat, the active ingredient in the Alli diet pill, blocks fat from being digested, the undigested fat (which is orange and sticky by nature) had a tendency to leave the body unexpectedly. Often this would occur rather quickly and without any foresight (in what may be called as “anal leakage”). Since this doesn’t really have any health effects, it may be more properly considered an worriment rather than a true side effect.

The active ingredient in Alli (Orlistat) blocks fat from going through the regular digestive process. Undigested fat is orange in appearance and rather gooey. This orange goo can leave your body at a moments notice and sometimes without warning, best described as anal leakage. An inconvenience rather than a side effect of alli – better described as a treatment effect.
