Take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat. Do not exceed three capsules per day. Each capsule should be taken with at least 10mg of fat.
Swallow the capsule whole with water. Do not crush, chew, or open the capsule.
Consistency is key: Take Orlistat 120mg with every main meal containing fat for best results. Skipping doses reduces its effectiveness.
Important Note: Orlistat may cause gastrointestinal side effects. These typically include oily stools, frequent bowel movements, and gas. These effects usually decrease as your body adjusts. If these side effects are severe or persistent, consult your doctor.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions for dosage. This information is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
Dietary Considerations: A balanced diet low in fat is recommended while using Orlistat. Consult a dietitian for personalized guidance on creating a suitable dietary plan.
