Overview Orlimax Capsule

Obesigen Capsules are prescribed for weight management. This medication functions by inhibiting fat absorption within the gastrointestinal tract, thereby reducing caloric intake and promoting gradual weight reduction. The recommended dosage is three capsules daily, taken with or within one hour of each main meal containing fat, or up to two hours after a smaller meal. Optimal results are achieved when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise. Prolonged use should only occur under physician supervision. To maximize effectiveness, it's advisable to limit consumption of high-fat foods while taking Obesigen. Potential side effects include steatorrhea (fatty stools), abdominal discomfort, and diarrhea. Report any bothersome side effects promptly to your doctor, who may adjust your dosage or recommend an alternative. Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding requires a doctor's approval. Always inform your physician about any existing health conditions or other medications before commencing treatment. Long-term use should be strictly as directed by your doctor.

Use Orlimax Capsules for no longer than six months. If you haven't lost weight after three months, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
