Orlistat works by preventing your body from absorbing about 30% of the fat you consume. This fat is then eliminated through your bowel movements.
How Orlistat Aids Weight Loss
By reducing fat absorption, Orlistat contributes to a calorie deficit, supporting weight loss. Combine this with a balanced diet and regular exercise for optimal results. Studies show that Orlistat users, alongside lifestyle changes, experience more significant weight loss than those relying on diet and exercise alone. Note: Orlistat is most effective when coupled with a reduced-calorie diet.
Understanding Potential Side Effects
Common side effects include oily stools, gas, and frequent bowel movements. These are usually mild and temporary. However, consult your doctor if you experience severe or persistent side effects. Proper dietary management, such as reducing fat intake, can help mitigate these.
