Ive been on it for 3 months and ive lost 20kg.

[DakotaCrossed]

I’ve been on this drug for around 4 weeks and lost 2kg a week! It’s an excellent drug but has some nasty side effects like oily poo or gas. But so far I’m very happy I just take a daily multivitamin

[BryAron.]

really helpful before i take mine as i just been givwn some by my doctor :)

[COCOLICIOUS]

On day two of this med and oh my goodness so much oil in my stool. Hopefully this works for me

[lauren]

I’ve just got mine and I’m excited to use it as part of a low fat diet and exercise routine. Avoiding fat as much as possible so I avoid the disaster most people talk about

[spacelara]

This only stops the fat absoption but not the carbohydrates which will still convert to fat.

[InspireTheTable]

Ive been taking this for 1 month now and ive been losing weight, problem is its too strong for me. Makes me need to go to the bathroom a lot.

[jmemixx]

Wonder if you can take this with other things

[jeffjones]

I've taken for 3 months now. The first 2 months i could see the results in my output. The oil is quite evident. But in 3rd month i no longer see those same results. My question is does one's system become immune or resistant after long term use?

[suzannelabatt]

My Dr has prescribed this but I have yet to start it. I’m confused though. For years they have said that eating fat does not make you fat. It’s carbs turning into glucose or sugar.

[justmi]

The first one that they recalled worked quickly for one of my family members and their friends and the newest one worked super fast for another family member BUT they both lost all of their hair and have fo wear wigs. This is something that people dont really mention bc they dont think about thier hair loss coming from alli but it definitely does (not everyones experiences are the same but be careful.)

[Rocket-xv]

I took it for 15 years and lost 2 lbs..

[ChandraWijeratne]

Is it safe with Art medication? Dolutegravire

[jeffreykenoandutan]

i only take orlistat if i am on house.

[NiceOneBrother]

Whats the point in taking it if your going to have a low fat diet anyway you need some fats in your diet for it to work I'm taking it now and the side effects are not bad just oily poo if you can't handle that you shouldn't take anything ever.

[carmensmith]

Pls wear a panty liner with wipe what you may think is gas maybe oil (broken down fats) maybe day 1 or 2

[Alkhaldi]

I've been using this med for about 3 days now, I don't get any oil in my stool or feel the need to go to the toilet. does that mean the med is not working for me.

[kit]

If you take just 1 a day with your largest meal, can you take it for life?

[wacanqaasim]

can i take this medicine while am breasfeading
