Relap 120mg Capsule

Relap 120mg Capsule is a weight management medicine formulated with Orlistat (120mg), a fat absorption inhibitor. It is used in the treatment of obesity and helps overweight individuals achieve and maintain a healthier body weight. Relap works best when combined with a low-fat, reduced-calorie diet and regular exercise. By preventing the absorption of fats from the diet, it reduces calorie intake, supports steady weight loss, and helps in improving associated health parameters like blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

How Relap 120mg Capsule works

Relap 120mg Capsule contains Orlistat, which works by inhibiting the action of the enzyme lipase in the intestines. Lipase breaks down dietary fats so the body can absorb them. By blocking this enzyme, Relap prevents around 25-30% of fat from being absorbed and allows it to be eliminated in the stool. This leads to a calorie deficit and supports gradual weight loss.
