Q: Is the diet aid Alli safe to take with high blood pressure that is under control?

A: Alli (Orlistat) works to block the absorption of fat in the gut from ingested food. You should not have a problem with your blood pressure while taking Alli. It works best when combined with a reduced calorie diet. Losing weight will also help with blood pressure control.
