Orlistat 120 mg is an oral weight management medication that reduces fat absorption, containing the active ingredient Orlistat, and should be used under medical supervision.
Product Overview
Orlistat 120 mg is a pharmaceutical medication designed to support weight management in individuals with overweight or obesity. It is commonly prescribed as part of a comprehensive weight reduction plan that includes a balanced, reduced-calorie diet and regular physical activity. Orlistat is intended for use under medical supervision and is typically considered when lifestyle modifications alone have not achieved sufficient results.
How It Works
Orlistat works by inhibiting pancreatic lipases, the enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fats in the intestine. When these enzymes are blocked, approximately 25–30% of the fat consumed in a meal is not absorbed and is instead excreted in the stool. This reduction in fat absorption helps decrease overall caloric intake, supporting gradual weight loss. The medication acts locally within the gastrointestinal tract and is minimally absorbed into the bloodstream, limiting systemic effects.
Uses / Indications
Orlistat 120 mg is primarily indicated as an adjunct therapy for weight management in adults who are overweight (body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m²) or obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m²). It may also be used in patients with obesity-related conditions, such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, or type 2 diabetes, when weight reduction can contribute to overall health improvement. The medication should be used in combination with dietary modifications and lifestyle changes, rather than as a standalone treatment.
Composition
-
Active Ingredient: Orlistat 120 mg
-
Dosage Form: Oral capsules
Each capsule contains 120 mg of the active substance, designed for oral administration with meals containing fat.
Administration
Orlistat is typically taken orally during meals that include fat, usually up to three times daily. The capsules should be swallowed whole with water and are most effective when taken during or within one hour of the meal. A healthcare professional should determine the appropriate regimen and monitor the patient for efficacy and tolerance. Regular follow-ups may include monitoring body weight, dietary habits, and potential gastrointestinal side effects.
Storage Instructions
Store Orlistat 120 mg in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the medication in its original container, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Do not store in the bathroom or near heat sources. Discard any expired or unused medication according to local regulations.
Important Information / Warning
Orlistat 120 mg should be used strictly under medical supervision. Patients may experience gastrointestinal effects such as oily stools, flatulence with discharge, or frequent bowel movements, especially when consuming high-fat meals. Nutrient absorption, particularly of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), may be reduced; supplementation may be recommended by a healthcare provider. Individuals with chronic malabsorption syndrome, cholestasis, or hypersensitivity to Orlistat should avoid using this medication. Inform your doctor of any ongoing medications to prevent potential interactions.
