Orlislim 120 mg Capsule (Orlistat)
Orlislim 120 mg Capsule contains Orlistat 120 mg, a fat-blocking agent that helps support weight reduction by reducing fat absorption from food. It is commonly used along with a low-calorie, low-fat diet and exercise routine for better weight management results.
Product Overview
Orlislim 120 mg Capsule contains Orlistat 120 mg, a fat absorption inhibitor used to support weight management in overweight individuals. It works by blocking enzymes in the digestive system that break down dietary fats, thereby reducing the amount of fat absorbed from food.
This action helps lower overall calorie intake when taken along with a balanced low-fat diet and regular physical activity. The unabsorbed fat is naturally eliminated through bowel movements.
Orlislim 120 mg works locally in the gut and has minimal absorption into the bloodstream, making its action focused mainly within the digestive tract. It is commonly used as part of a structured weight-control plan to support gradual and sustained weight reduction.

How Orlislim 120 mg Works
Orlislim 120 mg acts by blocking natural enzymes called lipases in the stomach and small intestine. These enzymes normally break down fat so it can be absorbed by the body.
When lipases are blocked:
- A portion of the fat you eat is not digested
- This undigested fat is not absorbed into the body
- It is naturally eliminated through bowel movements
This leads to a gradual reduction in calorie intake from fat, which supports weight loss over time.
Key Benefits
- Reduces absorption of dietary fat

- Works locally in the digestive system

- Complements diet and exercise programs

FAQs
1. How does Orlislim 120 mg work?
It works by blocking enzymes called lipases in the digestive system. These enzymes normally break down fat, so when blocked, some dietary fat is not absorbed and is naturally eliminated from the body.
2. What is the correct dose of Orlislim 120 mg?
The standard dose is one 120 mg capsule taken three times daily — with each main meal that contains fat. The capsule should be taken during the meal or up to one hour after eating.
3. What happens if I miss a dose of Orlislim?
If you miss a dose or skip a meal, simply skip that capsule. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one. Orlislim only works when fat is present in the meal, so taking it without food has no benefit.
4. Should I follow a special diet while taking Orlislim?
Yes. A low-calorie, low-fat, nutritionally balanced diet is essential during Orlislim treatment. Daily fat intake should not exceed 30% of total calorie intake. Fat should be spread evenly across three meals. High-fat meals will significantly worsen gastrointestinal side effects.
5.Does Orlislim 120 mg cause fast weight loss?
No, it supports gradual and steady weight reduction. It is not designed for rapid weight loss.
6.Can I stop the medicine suddenly?
Yes, it can be stopped anytime, but weight management results depend on continuing healthy diet and lifestyle habits.
Interactions
Orlislim 120 mg Capsule (Orlistat) may interact with certain medicines and supplements by affecting how they are absorbed or processed in the body.
