Product Details

Orlis Capsules are designed to aid in weight loss for individuals struggling with obesity. The active ingredient, Orlistat, works by reducing the absorption of dietary fats in your intestines. By inhibiting the enzyme lipase, Orlistat prevents the breakdown of fat, helping to lower calorie intake and promote weight loss. When combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, Orlis Capsules can be an effective tool in managing weight.

Purposes

Orlis Capsules are primarily used to support weight loss in adults who are overweight or obese. By reducing fat absorption, they help decrease overall calorie intake, contributing to gradual and sustained weight loss. They are particularly beneficial when used alongside lifestyle changes such as a balanced diet and increased physical activity.

Warnings

1. Dietary Adherence: Patients using Orlis Capsules should strictly follow the dietary recommendations provided by their healthcare provider to maximize effectiveness and minimize side effects.
2. Anticonvulsant Treatment: Orlistat may interfere with the absorption of antiepileptic drugs, potentially leading to seizures. Patients should be monitored closely for any changes in their condition.
3. Rectal Bleeding: In rare cases, Orlistat may cause rectal bleeding. If this occurs, it is important to consult a healthcare professional to investigate the cause.

Adverse Effects

Common side effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances such as oily stools, fecal incontinence, and gastrointestinal upset. Other potential side effects include respiratory infections, headaches, menstrual irregularities, and urinary tract infections. Rarely, patients may experience elevated liver enzymes, hepatitis, or rectal bleeding. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, seek medical advice immediately.

Cautions

• Type II Diabetes: Weight loss with Orlistat may be less pronounced in patients with type II diabetes. Close monitoring of anti-diabetic medications is advised during treatment.
• Drug Interactions: Orlis Capsules can interact with several medications, including Ciclosporin, Warfarin, fat-soluble vitamins, and antiepileptic drugs. Always inform your healthcare provider of all medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Orlis Capsules should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless prescribed by a physician. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new medication during these periods.
