Hello. You can continue to take alli until you reach your goal weight. alli is approved for over-the counter use for up to 6 months of use, but orlistat, the active ingredient in alli has been used in some people for up to four years in studies. Once you reach your goal however, you should continue to follow the healthy eating habits you have learned as you lost the weight, but you should not continue to take the alli. There is no need once you are at your goal! The alli plan at myalli.com has information

Hello. As the package labeling indicates, if you are taking medication for thryoid disease, you should talk to your doctor before using alli. If you have already spoken to your doctor, and they are aware you are using alli, you can use it. As far as dosing, it is always best to take your Synthroid dose first thing in the morning, and wait about 1/2-1 hour before eating or taking other medications. If you normally do that, you can take alli with your breakfast...which would be at least 1/2 hour after

Hello. How bad are the cramps? Do you have any other symptoms? Are you experiencing loose bowel movements or urgency when having to go to the bathroom? These can be signs of treatment effects from too much fat. If you are only having cramps, it is difficult for me to say whether they are from alli or from something else.

Hello. As a pharmacist, I would never tell a patient it was ok to use medication past it's expiration date. It is actually illegal for stores to sell expired medication and you should demand your money back or report them. Are they a store that has a pharmacy? If so, you should notify the State Board of Pharmacy. While it is unlikely that the expired alli is dangerous to use, there is no way to guarantee that it has it's full potency. In addition, since it was being sold at a deep discount

While it may take as long as 2 weeks to see results, most people will begin to lose a bit sooner. What is your BMI? How much weight do you have to lose? What have you been eating?

Lsoing weight requires eating less and/or moving more. alli will help, but the meal plan and exercise is what is of utmost importance. Also, if you are not significantly overweight, you may lose slower than others who have
