Orlistat is used to treat obesity and help in weight loss. Orlistat is to be used along with a low-calorie diet and regular physical exercise.

Orlistat contains Orlistat, which works in the small intestine and stomach and prevents the action of enzymes that break down fat, which is absorbed by the body. Orlistat decreases the absorption of fat from the food you eat. Thus, fat passes through the gut and is excreted in the faeces, which makes the body unable to use fat as a source of energy or convert it into fat tissue. Thereby, Orlistat helps in weight loss.

Some people may experience soft stools, sudden bowel motions, flatulence (gas) with or without oily spotting, oily or fatty stools, stomach pain, stool incontinence (involuntary leakage of stools), and runny or liquid stools. Most of these side effects of Orlistat do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.

Contains Orlistat - Read all warnings and refer to thedozen most popular medications that are FDA-approved to treat obesity. Orlistat is a lipase inhibitor. Lipases are gut enzymes that break down fat from our body and are responsible for breaking down the fat in food.

Lipases are also able to destroy any particles which would be excreted in the stomach if we were to take Orlistat. When taken at a low dose, Orlistat belongs to a class of drugs known as lipases. Orlistat works by preventing the breaking down of fat in food. It does this by broken down the fat into very small pieces which are then dispersed and immediately taken away from the stomach.
