Mode of Action of Orlimax 120 MG
How Does It Work?
The primary objective of Orlistat in Orlimax capsules is to reduce the dietary fat absorption. It works by reversibly suppressing gastric and pancreatic lipases, the enzymes that aid in the breakdown of dietary fats. They function by converting triglycerides into free fatty acids and monoglycerides, which can be easily absorbed. Orlistat binds to residues in lipase active sites, making them inactive. This inactivation prevents the breakdown of triglycerides, preventing the absorption of free fatty acids....
Directions for Use of Orlimax 120 MG
Please take Orlimax capsules as directed by your doctor. The capsules must be swallowed whole with a glass of water.
