Overview Olisat 120 Capsule

Olisat 120 Capsules treat obesity by inhibiting fat absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. This reduces caloric intake, facilitating gradual weight reduction. Administer orally three times daily, concurrent with or within one hour of each major fat-containing meal; mid-meal intake is permissible up to two hours post-consumption. Optimal results require combining this medication with exercise and a balanced diet. Long-term use necessitates physician approval. To maximize efficacy, minimize fat intake alongside the medication. Common side effects include steatorrhea (fatty stools), abdominal discomfort, and diarrhea. Report any concerning side effects promptly to your physician; dose adjustment or alternative therapies may be considered. Pregnant or lactating individuals require a prescription.
