How Orliwin 120mg Capsule works

Orliwin 120mg Capsule contains Orlistat, which acts by inhibiting the enzyme lipase in the stomach and intestines. Lipase breaks down fats in the food, allowing their absorption. By blocking lipase, Orliwin reduces fat absorption by around 30%. The unabsorbed fat is excreted from the body through stools, thus lowering calorie intake and assisting with weight loss.
