June 30, 2007 - Shedding off extra pounds has not been easy for obese and overweight across the globe, but GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare, the second largest pharmaceutical giant, indisputably has made it seamless. A low-dose version of Xenical, alli is the only FDA approved formulation available without prescription.
The over-the-counter pill endorses the same chemical blend as Roche’s Xenical and the only difference lies in the dosage quantity which is 50 percent less than Xenical. Approved by the FDA in 1999, Xenical aids obese people while losing weight and is available by prescription. A variant of Xenical, alli is not formulated as a substitute to prescription Xenical. In fact, Xenical is still available by prescription for users without any pause.
Rich with an active ingredient orlistat, the diet drug confers aid to lose weight by jamming up fat assimilation in the small intestines. But in addition, it also needs a reduced calorie and low-fat diet to make a difference.
Although the drug’s price still has not been declared, a starter pack comprising 60 alli capsules, the shuttle, (a carrying box for capsules), and a number of booklets including a daily magazine, and a calorie and fat counter is anticipated to cost around $ 50 to $ 60.
Besides, 90 capsules starter pack and 120 capsules refill package are also available in the row for further usage.
Meanwhile, Glaxo aired its first two television commercials which also can be viewed via the video sharing website You Tube along with television. Being a vital part of the prelaunch educational program outlined for alli, both two commercials are extremely professional in the outlook and are primed to arouse people’s interest in Glaxo’s website named myalli.com, which is likely to contribute radically to the company’s promotion
