Description
Orlimax Capsule is a medicine that helps manage obesity and support weight loss. It contains orlistat as the active ingredient, which works by blocking the absorption of some dietary fats. These fats are then excreted from your body rather than being stored, helping you lose weight more effectively.
This medicine is meant to be taken along with a low-calorie, low-fat diet and regular physical activity. It will not work effectively if you continue to eat high-fat meals or remain inactive. Maintaining healthy eating habits and exercise routines is essential to achieving the best results with Orlimax Capsule.
You should take Orlimax Capsule exactly as advised by your doctor, usually with or within one hour after a main meal that contains some fat. If you skip a meal or have a meal that contains no fat, you can skip the dose. Swallow the capsule whole with water and avoid taking more than the prescribed dose.
Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor if you are breastfeeding, pregnant, or have conditions such as chronic malabsorption or gallbladder problems. This medicine should not be used in children below 18 years of age. Regular monitoring and healthy lifestyle choices are important for long-term benefits.
Be sure to follow your doctor’s advice on diet and exercise throughout the treatment, as Orlimax Capsule works best when combined with healthy habits.
