Doubling the dose would be equivalent to a dose of the medication Xenical, a diet medication. The dose of Xenical is 120 milligrams and you take it 3 times a day. The dose of Alli is 60 milligrams and you take it 3 times a day.

Is the alli diet pill FDA approved?

The Alli diet pill was initially launched with great success and only mild side effects were reported. However the phrase "alli oops" was soon given to the often unexpected (and highly embarrassing) emptying of the bowels at any given moment. More serious however was the news that the FDA was launching an investigation into Alli and its main ingredient - Orlistat. Orlistat features in the stronger and prescription only fat binder - Xenical. It has been reported that as many as 1000 cases of liver damage may be linked to the use of orlistat and 24 deaths have been attributed to Xenical over recent years. The FDA are yet to make a decision on the future of Alli. There are alternatives to Alli which feature only natural ingredients and cut a similar percentage of fat from your diet, they are also side effect free. Read the "Alli diet pill review" link, which can be found below for more information.

Does diet pills effect your period?

Xenical capsules contain the active ingredient orlistat, also the main component of Alli which is a weaker over the counter version. I have tried Alli and have missed periods on it - so I see no reason why Xenical would not have the same effect at it is essentially a stronger version of Alli. Stop taking the medication, if you do not get your next period see your doctor. Other causes for missed periods are pregnancy, thyroid disease and poly-cystic ovary syndrome. hope this was helpful. :)
