Overview Orlisar 120mg Capsule

Xenical 120mg capsules treat obesity by inhibiting fat absorption in the stomach and small intestine. This reduces caloric intake, promoting gradual weight loss. Administer orally, three times daily, with or within an hour of each main fat-containing meal, or up to two hours after a smaller meal. Optimal results require a balanced diet and regular exercise. Prolonged use should only occur under physician supervision. Avoid high-fat meals for improved efficacy. Common side effects include oily stools, abdominal discomfort, and diarrhea. Report any concerning side effects immediately; dosage adjustment or alternative treatment may be necessary. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals require a prescription. Disclose all pre-existing conditions and other medications to your doctor before use. Long-term use is not recommended without a doctor's explicit instruction.
