Orlistat 120 mg

Orlistat 120mg

Orlistat 120mg capsules often known by the brand name Xenical, is a medicine used to treat obesity. When you take orlistat capsules, the active ingredient binds to the fat in your meals, preventing it from being digested and passing through your body.

How Does Orlistat Work?

When combined with a balanced diet, orlistat can help boost weight loss for people with a BMI of over 30, or those with a BMI of 28 – 30 and who suffer from other risk factors, such as diabetes.

Orlistat works in the following ways to aid weight loss:

• Prevents your body from absorbing fat from the food you eat.
• Help keep you from gaining the weight you have lost.

Does Orlistat Work?

Yes, orlistat has been proven to be an effective weight loss aid. According to multiple studies, it resulted in significantly more weight loss than placebo when paired with food and behaviour change and generated modest improvements in lipid profile, glycaemic management, and blood pressure. (7)

It has been proven to prevent the absorption of nearly one-third of dietary fat.

Does Orlistat Burn Existing Fat?

Orlistat does not affect your existing fat cells; instead, it binds to the fat in your food. This reduces your calorie intake, allowing your body to use the fat you’ve built up for energy. When you consume more calories than your body requires, they are stored as fat for later use, which is why you gain weight in the first place.

Does Orlistat Make You Feel Full?

Orlistat works fully in the gastrointestinal tract and does not alter the central nervous system. If you are looking for a weight loss aid that stops you from feeling hungry or produces the feeling of fullness, you can consider Saxenda or Wegovy injections, as well as the recently introduced Mysimba tablets.
