Because Reeshape capsules are not dosed according to body weight, it is not always acceptable to take 60 mg just because you weigh 100 kg. Because many weight-loss medications can have negative effects and require medical monitoring, it's advisable to start only if prescribed by a doctor.

  1. Standard Dosage: The typical dose of Orlistat (Reeshape) is 120 mg three times daily with meals containing fat. A 60 mg dose is a lower strength and may be less effective.

  2. Weight and Age: Your weight (100 kg) does not directly affect the dose. At 50 years old, Orlistat can be used safely if there are no contraindications.

  3. Medical Supervision: Use Orlistat under medical supervision to monitor side effects and ensure it's suitable for your health.

  4. Lifestyle Changes: Combine Orlistat with a low-calorie, low-fat diet and regular exercise for best results.

  5. Consult Your Doctor: Before starting or adjusting the dose, consult your healthcare provider to ensure the dose is appropriate and discuss any potential risks.
