Overview Orlicen 120 Capsule

Reductil 120mg capsules are prescribed for weight management by inhibiting dietary fat absorption within the gastrointestinal tract. This mechanism reduces caloric intake, contributing to gradual weight reduction. The recommended dosage is three capsules daily, administered with or within an hour of each main meal containing fat, and up to two hours after smaller meals. Optimal results are achieved when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise. Prolonged use should only be considered under ongoing medical supervision. To maximize effectiveness, minimize consumption of high-fat foods concurrently. Potential side effects include steatorrhea (fatty stools), abdominal discomfort, and diarrhea. Report any concerning side effects promptly to your physician, who may adjust the dosage or suggest an alternative. Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding requires a physician's approval. Disclose all pre-existing health conditions and current medications to your doctor before commencing treatment. Long-term use is not advised without specific medical guidance.
