Description
What is Orlistat?
Orlistat is a clinically approved weight loss treatment that works by preventing your body from absorbing dietary fat. It’s ideal for adults who are overweight or obese and want medical support in losing weight while following a reduced-calorie diet.

๐ How Orlistat Works
Orlistat works in your digestive system by blocking the enzyme lipase, which breaks down fat. About 25โ30% of fat from the food you eat passes through your system undigested, helping you reduce calorie intake without increasing hunger.
It targets only dietary fat, so you still absorb proteins and carbs.
