Orlifit 120mg Capsule

Orlifit 120mg Capsule, made by Getz Pharma Ltd, is a weight-loss medicine. Its active ingredient is Orlistat 120mg, and it is used for obesity and weight management. Pack size: 10 capsules.

Uses of Orlifit 120mg Capsule

Orlifit 120mg Capsule is used to help adults who are obese, or overweight with weight-related health problems, to lose weight alongside a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet and more physical activity. It can also help keep weight off once it has been lost. It works only on the fat in your food, so the diet plan is an essential part of treatment, not an optional extra.

How Orlifit 120mg Capsule works

Orlistat blocks lipases, the digestive enzymes in the gut that break down dietary fat. Undigested fat cannot be absorbed and passes out in the stool, so fewer calories enter the body. Very little orlistat is absorbed itself, and it acts only inside the gut.

Possible side effects

The side effects of Orlifit 120mg Capsule mostly affect the bowel and are worse after fatty meals. They include:

• Oily spotting or oily stools
• Wind with an oily discharge
• Urgent need to open the bowels
• Stomach pain
• Loose stools

See a doctor if you have severe or ongoing stomach pain, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, or rectal bleeding.

Precautions and warnings

• Follow a low-fat diet spread across your daily meals; high-fat meals make bowel side effects much worse.
• It can reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, so a multivitamin taken at bedtime, away from it, is usually advised.
• Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you take warfarin, levothyroxine, epilepsy medicines, ciclosporin or HIV medicines, as their effect may change.
• If you use the contraceptive pill and have severe diarrhoea, use extra contraception.
• Do not use it during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or if you have a long-term problem absorbing food or a blockage of bile flow (cholestasis).

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
