The newly launched over the counter diet pill Alli (weight loss pill available without prescription) is becoming extremely popular among obese and over-weight people. Alli by GSK was recently launched as the first over-the-counter weight loss pill to be available in pharmacies across the UK and Europe.
Alli has previously been available on prescription for some time but the Government has decided it should be more accessible to the public. According to the claims made by GSK, the manufacturers of Alli, Alli helps dieters lose 50 per cent more weight than through willpower alone, by preventing the body absorbing fat. GSK also stresses that it is not a 'magic' pill and is designed to enhance, rather than replace, the effects of diet and exercise.
The drug, which actually is a half-strength version of the prescription-only diet pill Xenical, is only available to those with a body mass index of 28 and over after a consultation with the pharmacist has taken place. If you are looking at buying Alli over the counter, be ready to be weighed and measured at your pharmacy if do not know your BMI (Body Mass Index). Alli is not available to under 18s. A monthly course of Alli costs around £50.
