About Orlistat 60 mg Capsule 10's
Orlistat 60 mg Capsule 10's is used to treat obesity and help in weight loss. Orlistat 60 mg Capsule 10's is to be used along with a low-calorie diet and regular physical exercise. Obesity is a common condition associated with excessive body fat, which in turn increases the risk of other health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, certain cancers, and heart disease. Intake of more calories than you burn by exercise or daily activities results in obesity.
Orlistat 60 mg Capsule 10's 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 60 mg Capsule 10's 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 60 mg Capsule 10's helps in weight loss.
Take Orlistat 60 mg Capsule 10's as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Orlistat 60 mg Capsule 10's for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition.

Most of these side effects of Orlistat 60 mg Capsule 10's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to Orlistat 60 mg Capsule 10's or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Avoid taking Orlistat 60 mg Capsule 10's if you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy, as it may cause fetal harm. It is not known whether Orlistat 60 mg Capsule 10's is excreted in human milk. Therefore, please consult a doctor if you are a breastfeeding woman. Orlistat 60 mg Capsule 10's is not recommended for children below 18 years of age, as the safety and effectiveness were not established.
