Orlidip 120 Capsule

Orlidip 120 Capsule is a prescription medicine designed to help with weight loss in overweight and obese individuals. It contains Orlistat (120mg), a lipase inhibitor that reduces the absorption of dietary fats. When combined with a low-calorie, low-fat diet and regular exercise, Orlidip supports effective weight loss and helps prevent weight regain. It also lowers the risk of weight-related conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease, making it a valuable aid in long-term weight management.

Uses of Orlidip 120 Capsule

• Promotes weight loss in obese and overweight adults
• Helps maintain weight after weight loss
• Reduces risk factors like high blood sugar and cholesterol

How Orlidip 120 Capsule works

Orlidip Capsule contains Orlistat, which works by blocking the action of lipase enzymes in the intestine. These enzymes break down dietary fat for absorption. By inhibiting lipase, Orlistat reduces fat breakdown, allowing undigested fat to be eliminated from the body through stool. This results in fewer calories being absorbed and helps the body lose excess weight over time.
