Description

Orlistat 120mg Capsules are designed to assist in weight loss for adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more, or 28 or more with associated risk factors. The active ingredient, orlistat, is a lipase inhibitor that works by blocking the enzymes responsible for digesting fat in the intestine. As a result, approximately 30% of the fat consumed in the diet is not absorbed and is excreted unchanged, leading to a reduction in calorie intake.

Orlistat should be used in conjunction with a nutritionally balanced, mildly hypocaloric diet that contains approximately 30% of calories from fat. It is recommended that the diet be rich in fruits and vegetables, and the daily intake of fat, carbohydrate, and protein be distributed over three main meals.

  • Clinically proven to aid weight loss when used with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet
  • Reduces the absorption of dietary fat by approximately 30%
  • Helps improve weight-related health risk factors
  • Suitable for long-term use under medical supervision
