Orlistat 60mg works by blocking the absorption of dietary fat. Specifically, it inhibits pancreatic lipases, enzymes responsible for breaking down fats in your food. This means a portion of the fat you consume passes through your digestive system undigested.
Consume Orlistat with meals containing fat. Taking it without food won’t yield results.
Expect some gastrointestinal side effects. These include oily stools, gas, and loose bowel movements. These are common and usually mild, but you should consult your doctor if they become severe.
Orlistat is most effective when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. It’s not a magic bullet; it’s a tool to support weight loss efforts. Results vary depending on individual factors.
Remember: Always follow your doctor’s instructions and read the medication leaflet for a full list of side effects and precautions. Orlistat is not suitable for everyone.
Consult your physician before starting any weight-loss program or taking Orlistat. They can assess your suitability and help create a personalized plan.
