Orlistat 120 mg

Description

Orlistat 120 mg is a prescription medication used to support weight loss and weight management in adults who are overweight or living with obesity. It works by blocking the action of enzymes called lipases in the digestive system, preventing the absorption of approximately 30% of the fat consumed in meals. The unabsorbed fat is naturally eliminated from the body.

For the best results, Orlistat 120 mg should be used as part of a comprehensive weight management program that includes a balanced, reduced-calorie, low-fat diet and regular physical exercise. It may also help lower the risk of regaining weight after successful weight loss when used under medical supervision.

Key Benefits

• Helps reduce the absorption of dietary fat.
• Supports healthy weight loss when combined with diet and exercise.
• Assists with long-term weight management.
• May help reduce the risk of weight regain after losing weight.
• Clinically proven active ingredient for obesity management.

How Orlistat 120 mg Works

Orlistat works locally in the stomach and small intestine by inhibiting pancreatic and gastric lipases. This prevents a portion of dietary fat from being digested and absorbed, allowing it to pass through the digestive system and be eliminated naturally.

How to Take

• Take one 120 mg capsule with each main meal containing fat, or within one hour after eating.
• Skip the dose if you miss a meal or if the meal contains no fat.
• Follow a nutritionally balanced, low-fat, calorie-controlled diet.
• Use exactly as directed by your healthcare provider.

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Oily or fatty stools
• Increased bowel movements
• Gas with oily discharge
• Urgent need to use the toilet
• Abdominal discomfort

These effects are usually more noticeable when consuming high-fat meals.

Precautions

• Use only under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.
• Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by a doctor.
• Inform your healthcare provider about all medications and medical conditions before use.
• A multivitamin supplement containing vitamins A, D, E, and K may be recommended, as Orlistat can reduce the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
