Orlistat Hexal is a prescription medication containing orlistat, a lipase inhibitor. It works by preventing your body from absorbing about 30% of the fat you consume in your diet. This means fewer calories from fat are absorbed, contributing to weight loss.
Remember, Orlistat Hexal isn’t a magic bullet. Successful weight loss requires a balanced diet low in fat and regular exercise. Combining Orlistat Hexal with these lifestyle changes maximizes its effects. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance on diet and exercise routines suitable for you.
Important Note: Orlistat Hexal can cause gastrointestinal side effects like oily stools, gas, and bowel movements. These are often manageable by adjusting your diet, especially reducing fat intake. If side effects are severe or persistent, contact your doctor immediately.
Before starting Orlistat Hexal, discuss potential drug interactions and your medical history with your doctor or pharmacist. They can assess if Orlistat Hexal is the right choice for your specific circumstances and health conditions.
