Alli Capsules in Hornchurch Pharmacy
Looking for extra support alongside a healthy diet and exercise? At Healthcare Pharmacy, we offer Alli capsules as an accessible, over-the-counter weight loss aid. Alli is intended to be used alongside healthy eating and exercise, not as a replacement for them; product studies suggest some users following a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet may lose some additional weight compared with diet and exercise alone, though individual results vary. We are here to provide the professional guidance you need to use this treatment safely.
What are Alli Weight Loss Capsules?
If you are looking for Alli capsules near Hornchurch, it’s important to understand how they work. Unlike supplements that claim to “burn fat,” Alli contains 60mg of Orlistat, a lipase inhibitor.
- Targeted Action: It works only in your digestive system, not your brain or heart.
- Fat Blocking: It prevents about 25% of the fat you eat from being absorbed by your body.
- Natural Elimination: The unabsorbed fat passes out of your body naturally in your bowel movements.

Frequently Asked Question
Who can use Alli capsules?
Alli is specifically designed for adults aged 18 and over who have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 28 or higher. It is intended for use alongside a mildly hypocaloric, lower fat diet. It is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or individuals with certain gallbladder or absorption conditions.
How should I take Alli for the best results?
You should take one 60mg capsule three times a day, with each main meal that contains fat. You can take it immediately before, during, or up to one hour after your meal. If you skip a meal or eat a meal that contains no fat, you should skip your dose of Alli.
What are the common side effects?
Most side effects are “diet related” and occur in the digestive system. These can include wind (flatulence) with oily spotting, sudden bowel movements, or oily stools. You can significantly reduce the chance of these effects by ensuring your meals do not contain more than 15g of fat.
Do I need to take a multivitamin with Alli?
Yes. Because Alli prevents the absorption of some fats, it can also lower your levels of fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K). We recommend taking a daily multivitamin at bedtime to ensure your body gets the nutrients it needs while you are on the programme.
How long can I take Alli for?
Alli can be taken for up to six months. If you have not lost weight after taking Alli for 12 weeks, you should consult our pharmacist or your doctor. We will help you review your diet and exercise plan to see if a different approach is needed.
