Possible Harmful Drug Interactions with Alli

The over-the-counter (OTC) product Alli™ could have potentially harmful interactions with prescription medications like levothyroxine and other thyroid hormones, by decreasing your ability to absorb your prescription medication. This is just one example of an OTC product that can interfere with your prescribed medications.

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  If you need to take prescriptive medicine, don't be lazy.  read the informational sheets that are given to you with the medication.  All side effects, harmful drug interactions and other cautions are listed.  Be responsible for your own health and read all the fine print.  If you are taking Alli, that's too bad.  You should be eating well and exercising instead.
