Is it okay to take alli while on acutane (isotretinoin)?  At what age is one to young to take alli?

Is it ok to take alli with blood pressure medications such as lisinopril & felodipine?

Hi arleneperz,

Alli is indicated for overweight adults (over the age of 18).  Anyone younger needs the supervision or recommendation of a physician.

Accutane is a derivative of vitamin A which is fat-soluble, the dosing schedule must allow at least a 2 hour separation.

Hope this helps.

Hi Jenic19,

There is no interaction between Alli and lisinopril or felodipine.  You should continue taking your medications as prescribed.

The good news is even with a modest weight loss of 5% there has been the benefit of reduced cardiovascular risk factors such as blood pressure.

Best of health.
