Orlistat 60mg blocks about 30% of the fat you consume from being absorbed by your body. It achieves this by preventing the action of lipases, enzymes that break down fats in your digestive system.
How to Use Orlistat Effectively
Take one capsule with each main meal containing fat. Don’t exceed three capsules a day. Choose foods with lower fat content to maximize results and minimize side effects.
- Consider a balanced, reduced-calorie diet. Orlistat alone won’t lead to significant weight loss without dietary changes. Regular exercise complements Orlistat’s action, boosting weight loss and overall health. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to aid digestion and minimize side effects.
What to Expect
You might experience some side effects, including oily stools, gas, and frequent bowel movements. These are usually mild and temporary, but reducing fat intake can lessen them.
Possible Side Effects: Abdominal cramping, fecal urgency, oily spotting, flatulence. Dietary Considerations: Focus on lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Avoid excessive fat consumption. Important Note: Orlistat can affect the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K). Consider a multivitamin to compensate. Consult your doctor before use, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions.
Long-Term Use and Considerations
Sustained weight loss requires ongoing lifestyle changes. Orlistat is a tool, not a magic bullet. Consistent diet and exercise, combined with Orlistat, can help you achieve your goals.
