Vyfat - Orlistat 120 mg Capsule

Orlistat belongs to a class of medications known as lipase inhibitors, which work by blocking certain enzymes in the digestive system responsible for breaking down dietary fat. By inhibiting fat absorption, a portion of the fat consumed in meals passes through the digestive system without being absorbed, helping to reduce overall calorie intake from fat. It is commonly used as part of a broader weight management plan for individuals who are overweight or obese, especially when combined with a balanced, reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity. It is typically taken with meals that contain fat, usually up to three times a day, allowing the medication to work directly within the digestive process when it's most effective. Following a lower-fat diet while taking Orlistat can help minimize digestive-related effects and support more comfortable use. Many individuals experience gradual, steady weight loss when Orlistat is combined with consistent lifestyle changes over time. Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider helps monitor progress and overall health throughout treatment. Long-term success with Orlistat is often supported by maintaining healthy eating habits and physical activity even after treatment goals are reached. As with all weight management medications, Orlistat should be used under the guidance of a healthcare provider as part of a personalized and sustainable approach to weight management.
