Orlistat works by blocking lipases, which are enzymes that break down the fat in your digestive system. This stops your body from absorbing the fat from the food you eat and gets rid of it naturally. Orlistat can help to improve some weight related health factors, such as blood pressure and cholesterol, and can also help reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes for some people.
Orlistat is available in 120mg capsules where one tablet is taken 3 times a day. This dose should not be exceeded within a 24 hour period. The tablets should be taken either just before, up to one hour after or during your meal which contains fat. It is also recommended to take a daily multivitamin as Orlistat can affect the absorption of vitamins by your body.
