No. You should not take alli if your BMI is less than 28. alli is used for weight loss in adults who are overweight with a BMI of 28 or above. Use the BMI calculation tool to find out your BMI and see if it’s in the right category for you to use alli. (You need to know your weight and height.) Alternatively, you can ask your pharmacist to work out your BMI, or use the chart below to see if alli can help you lose weight and improve your health. Find your height on the chart and if you weigh less than the weight shown for your height, do not take alli.
