Drink plenty of water throughout the day. This helps your body process the medication and reduces the likelihood of constipation, a common side effect.
Gastrointestinal Issues
Expect some mild gastrointestinal discomfort, such as gas or loose stools. Eating smaller, more frequent meals can help. Avoid greasy or high-fat foods, which can exacerbate these issues.
Other Potential Side Effects
While less frequent, some users report headaches or mild stomach pain. Over-the-counter pain relievers can manage headaches. For persistent stomach pain, consult your doctor.
Minimizing Discomfort
Take Alli with a meal containing some fat. This helps the medication work effectively and reduces the chance of unpleasant side effects. Follow the dosage instructions precisely.
When to Seek Medical Advice
Contact your doctor if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent diarrhea, or rectal bleeding. These symptoms require immediate attention.
Important Note
Always read the complete product information leaflet before starting any new medication. This provides comprehensive details about potential side effects and usage instructions.
