Product Details:

• Orlistat is a medicine used for weight management in overweight and obese adults.

• It works locally in the stomach and small intestine to reduce the absorption of dietary fat.

• Brand names: Xenical (120 mg), Alli (60 mg), and various generics.

�� Strength & Form

• Orlistat 120 mg capsules (hard gelatin form, usually blue or turquoise).

• The 120 mg dose is the prescription strength used under medical supervision.

�� Mechanism of Action

• Orlistat inhibits gastrointestinal lipases (enzymes that break down fats).

• As a result, about 25–30% of dietary fat eaten passes through undigested and is eliminated in the stool.

• This reduces calorie absorption → helps in gradual weight loss.

�� Uses

• Weight reduction in obese adults (BMI ≥30).

• Overweight adults (BMI ≥27) with additional risk factors such as:

  • Type 2 diabetes

  • Hypertension

  • High cholesterol

• Helps in maintaining weight loss after reduction.

• May improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients.

�� How to Take

• Usual dose: 120 mg capsule, three times daily.

• Taken with meals containing fat (during or up to 1 hour after eating).

• If a meal is missed or contains no fat → dose can be skipped.

• Should be combined with:

  • Low-calorie, reduced-fat diet

  • Exercise program

�� Precautions

• Not recommended in:

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding

  • Chronic malabsorption syndrome

  • Cholestasis (liver/bile flow disorder)

• Must take a daily multivitamin (A, D, E, K, beta-carotene) at bedtime, as Orlistat reduces absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.

• Use cautiously in diabetes (may need adjustment of anti-diabetic drugs).

�� Drug Interactions

• Cyclosporine (reduced absorption; take 3 hours apart)

• Warfarin (affects Vitamin K → INR monitoring needed)
