Alli Capsules Directions

Adults 18 years and over: Take 1 capsule, 3 times a day before or during mealtimes up to and including an hour after food. For a maximum of 6 months.

If you miss, forget to take a capsule, or it is more than one hour since your last main meal, you should not take the missed dose. If it is less than an hour since your last main meal, you should take the capsule as soon as possible. 

While you are taking Alli Capsules you should take a multivitamin at night time to ensure you are absorbing enough vitamins A, D, E and K every day.

If your meal does not contain fat, you should not take a dose of the medication, because Alli only works by blocking the absorption of fat that you eat.
