    why isnt the people going to their doctors to get it prescribe? instead of looking at buying it?

    I was worried about buying the drug online, but I was advised that I should look for online offers that have been approved by the "Royal Pharmaceutical Society".
    Looking in the paper today, Lloydspharmacy are selling alli online from today and their website is approved.

    I'm not sure how much it costs, but I would rather pay a little extra for the piece of mind!


    Hello,
    Sally here from Boots. I've been reading your concerns about buying alli from a reputable source and wanted to let you know that you can buy it online via the Boots pharmacy, which is also approved by The Royal Pharmaceutical Society - for your peace of mind!
    Thanks.

    It errrrrrrrrrr makes your tummy work - thats how the fat exits your system without being absorbed.

    Xenical did that to you? I know that it makes your tummy go but I didnt think it affected your bladder as well?

    well kinda come out both ends its not sold its fat and it stains lol so need a pad, im not saying that its crap im just saying its not the easy opption
  • I bought this online about a year ago, thought it would make dieting that little bit easier or help me lose that little bit more to keep me going....goodness, I lasted only a few days. It was horrible stuff!

    Made me feel awful & the ease that stuff left my body was enough to stop me taking it straight away, you cant leak fats from as well as posted above oher things!! with no waning!

    I have since started slimming world, 7 weeks ago & have lost 13 pound, HEALTHILY!!!

    I would tell anyone NOT to try this drug!
