Orlimax ( orlistat 120 mg )

ORLIMAX 120MG CAPSULE falls under the category of anti-obesity medications and is used to address obesity and aid in weight loss. When taking ORLIMAX 120MG CAPSULE, it is essential to follow a low-calorie diet and engage in regular physical exercise. Obesity is a prevalent condition characterized by excessive body fat, which can lead to various health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, certain cancers, and heart disease. It typically arises from consuming more calories than the body burns through exercise or daily activities.

The active ingredient in ORLIMAX 120MG CAPSULE is Orlistat, which functions in the stomach and small intestine, inhibiting the action of fat-breaking enzymes that the body would otherwise absorb. By reducing fat absorption from the food, ORLIMAX 120MG CAPSULE allows fat to pass through the digestive system and be excreted in the feces, preventing its conversion into body fat tissue and limiting its use as an energy source. This mechanism contributes to weight loss.

Always take ORLIMAX 120MG CAPSULE as prescribed by your doctor and adhere to the recommended duration based on your medical condition. While using this medication, some individuals may experience side effects like soft stools, sudden bowel movements, flatulence (gas) with or without oily spotting, oily or fatty stools, stomach pain, stool incontinence (involuntary leakage of stools), and runny or liquid stools. In most cases, these side effects tend to subside over time and do not necessitate medical attention. However, if they persist, it is advisable to consult your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to ORLIMAX 120MG CAPSULE or any other medicines. Pregnant individuals or those planning for pregnancy should avoid taking ORLIMAX 120MG CAPSULE, as it may harm the fetus. Additionally, it is not known whether the medication is excreted in human milk, so breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before using it. ORLIMAX 120MG CAPSULE is not recommended for children under 18 years of age, as its safety and effectiveness have not been established for this age group. To ensure sufficient intake of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), it is advised to take a multivitamin containing these vitamins at bedtime, as ORLIMAX 120MG CAPSULE may reduce their absorption in the body.
