They changed the formula......not the same as it was in 2010. The alli now is complete garbage. I have tried it several times since it was put back on the shelves. What a waste of money, I just threw away what I had, good riddance. I will not waste any more money or time with this expensive garbage.

This once amazing magical pill; is now equal to all the other crap being sold!! I know a few people that fell victim to liver disease after using Alli,(2008 formula), I think this is why it was pulled off the shelves. It did work....it was amazing!!!!

Alli worked a lot better before. It still works, but you have to basically love on fat-free food. If you eat nothing but plain white rice and salads, you will lose weight but is it really from Alli or the diet itself? I would like to think it is the diet. Either way... If you can stick to something strict you will see results with or without this.

The formula clearly was changed for the worse. It does nothing. You are better off having your friend give you sugar pills and telling you they will help you lose weight than buying these.

FOR ANYONE WONDERING: Someone at work had told me that this product was taken off the shelf because it was "too effective". It was causing men and women to become dehydrated and they had to change the formula. The new one is "safer" but not nearly as effective.

I am disappointed. When did they change the formula?? I took this back in 2009 and it worked so well for me and I wanted to use the pills again and now they don't do anything but make me tired and give me migraines. Such a shame.

I was able to lose a good deal of weight 4 years ago due to alli. The reason being was because I could eat a high fat meal once a day and the fat seemed to flush out. Since Alli came back out on the market it does nothing!What I wonder is what are in those capsules if you don't get the same effect you used to? I know of someone who could research this and I will be interested to find out.

I hope the makers read our comments. I was successful losing 15 pounds in 10 months with the help of this product. The product has not been the same for me since this summer (June 2016). Most people are probably OK with the treatment effects, although this might have been a motivator for them to change the formula. The new formula is a dud.

I am preaching to the choir. I took Alli about 5 years ago. Was not obese, but wanted to lose 10 lbs before a back surgery, it did the trick. Then I could not find it anywhere, and recently found it on Amazon. Ordered a bottle, still eat pretty healthy with the occasional fatty foods, but nothing, no change that you had grown to expect. I am JUST reading the reviews, all makes sends

I believe the old formula Alli contained a non-listed ingredient, perhaps phenolphthalein (EX-LAX) which worked in symbiosis with the active ingredient, generic Xynical. Clearly, they have changed their formula--it's not the same product. There is only ONE reason for this; money. Be it a law suit, liver damage, whatever, there is a serious problem and Alli is no longer a trusted product/name.

Upon doctor's recommendation, I used Alli for several years with great results (went from a size 12 to a size 8). When Alli came back on the market, I was thrilled and purchased several times. But I noticed that nothing seemed to be happening. No pounds shed,etc. My "test" was to make a sandwich loaded with mayo which should have resulted in lots of uncomfortable discharge. But, nothing happened.

I want my money back $60.00 is a lot of money to me. I didn't keep my receipt because I knew I would start to lose weight right away. I have been taking it for almost two weeks and no results. Did they think they could pull a fast one on us? Didn't they thing the public would find out the formula changed. The Executives of the Company are not very smart if they think they can get away with this.

A tiny bit of fat came out with stool but even when I purposely ate more fat to test it a few days, nothing happened like it used to.

I used Alli before they were taken off the market and they were very effective. I waited patiently for them to come back on the market and paid a fortune for what are now totally ineffective capsules. They are not from the same batches that others have raised an issue about so it obviously isn't a 'bad batch'. Some people have blamed the heat- the UK is not exactly a tropical location.GSK refunds?

I used Alli for a long time before the shortage. I recently purchased a new bottle. No oily stool, no weight loss with the new batch.
