Onslim Capsule contains Orlistat (120mg), a well-known weight loss medication used to help manage obesity. It is designed for adults who are overweight or obese and works effectively when combined with a low-fat, reduced-calorie diet and regular physical activity. Onslim aids in preventing the absorption of some dietary fats in the body, which helps reduce total calorie intake. It is ideal for people at risk of conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol due to excessive weight.

How Onslim Capsule works

Onslim Capsule works by blocking the enzyme lipase, which is responsible for breaking down fat in the digestive system. When lipase is inhibited, about 25–30% of the fat from your meal is not absorbed and is instead eliminated through the stool. This mechanism helps reduce daily calorie intake and contributes to effective weight management.
