Megaburn 120mg Strip Of 10 Capsules
Description
Megaburn Capsule contains orlistat as its active ingredient and is commonly prescribed for managing obesity. It works by blocking the absorption of some dietary fats, preventing them from being stored in the body. This aids effective weight loss when combined with proper lifestyle changes. Megaburn Capsule is recommended only for adults and should not be used by children under 18 years of age.
For optimal results, this medication should be taken alongside a low-calorie, low-fat diet and regular exercise. It is not a substitute for healthy habits but serves as additional support in your weight management journey. Avoid eating fried, oily, or high-fat foods while on this medication, as it may cause stomach upset and decrease its effectiveness.
Your doctor will determine the right dose and duration of Megaburn Capsules based on your body weight, health condition, and response to treatment. Always follow the prescribed dosage and do not exceed the recommended amount. Skipping or doubling doses should be avoided to prevent unwanted side effects.
Common side effects may include oily stools, stomach cramps, gas, and increased bowel movements. These are usually mild and tend to improve as your body adjusts to the medication and diet plan. If you experience severe stomach pain, allergic reactions, or other unusual symptoms, seek medical advice immediately.
Before starting Megaburn Capsule, tell your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any digestive or absorption disorders. Your doctor may also check your vitamin levels, as long-term use of orlistat can reduce the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K). Taking a multivitamin supplement as advised by your doctor may be helpful.
