Is it safe to take the FDA approved weight loss drug Alli on prescription Xanax?
I know when you are taking Xanax you are not supposed to take weight loss pills, But since Alli is the first FDA approved weight loss drug, is it safe to take while taking a prescription of Xanax?
Please no spam & real answers only if you know. Thank you.
When they speak of not mixing weight loss medication with Xanax, and other benzodiazepine tranquilizers, the general meaning is not to mix it with sympathetomimetic stimulants Sibutramine - which are what weight loss drugs traditionally are.
Alli is the first over the counter weight loss drug, it's not a sympathetomimetic stimulant, nor is it the first weight loss drug ever. It acts by blocking enzymes in your digestive tract that break apart fat, so it can be absorbed by your body. Without these enzymes, the fat never gets absorbed, and passes out your other end.
So while there is not a specific contraindication, Xanax and most other benzodiazepines are fairly lipid soluble. What this means is that Alli could interfere with the absorption of Xanax - I don't know that this has ever been tested. This isn't particularly dangerous, it just means the Xanax will not work as well. Since Alli is fairly short acting, this could probably be managed by taking them at separate times.
As with anything, check with a genuine, licensed pharmacist, or the doctor prescribing the Xanax.
