Should I try the weight-loss drug Alli?
Alli is the brand name for a capsule that contains 60mg of the drug Orlistat. This is the same ingredient that makes up what is commonly known as Xenical, a drug that treats obesity. The difference is that one dose of Xenical contains 120mg of Orlistat and this is why a prescription is needed. Alli can be obtained over the counter. In other words no prescription is necessary and this leaves it wide open to abuse.
