Alli (Orlistat) is exciting news for adults who are overweight with a BMI of 28 or over, want to lose weight and who understand the importance of sensible eating when they’re trying to lose weight. If you know what it’s like to step on the scales and not lose as much weight as you were expecting, alli could be just what you need.

  • alli is not a magic slimming pill. It’s a weight loss capsule designed to be used with a support programme to help boost your weight loss. It’s clinically proven that adding alli to a reduced calorie, lower-fat diet can boost your weight loss by 50%.

  • alli is the first pharmacy-only weight loss aid licensed throughout Europe.
