Lipocut 60 mg Capsule

Lipocut 60 mg Capsule is a weight-loss medicine that contains 60 mg of orlistat in each capsule. It belongs to the lipase inhibitor class and is used with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet to help manage obesity or overweight in adults. Lipocut 60 mg Capsule works in the digestive tract rather than acting like an appetite suppressant. It is the lower-strength orlistat capsule compared with Lipocut 120 mg Capsule, and it is chosen when a clinician wants a more conservative option.

How it works: Orlistat in Lipocut 60 mg Capsule blocks enzymes in the intestine that break down fat from food. This means some dietary fat passes through the body undigested and is not absorbed.

Lipocut 60 mg Capsule provides half the amount of orlistat found in the 120 mg capsule, so it may suit adults who are starting treatment, are more sensitive to stomach-related effects, or are using an over-the-counter-style lower-dose regimen under medical guidance. Because it acts in the gut, it does not usually produce a stimulant-like feel or quick "boost"; its benefits depend on taking it correctly with meals and following the diet plan. A doctor may choose Lipocut 60 mg Capsule when the lower strength is the better match for the person’s goals and tolerance.

• Weight loss support in adults
• Helping reduce body weight with diet and exercise
• Weight management in people with obesity
• Support for maintaining weight loss after initial reduction

• Take Lipocut 60 mg Capsule by mouth with water during a meal or within 1 hour after eating.
• Use it only with meals that contain fat; skip the dose if you skip the meal or the meal has no fat.
• Do not take more than 3 capsules in 1 day.
• Follow a reduced-calorie diet with roughly 30% of calories from fat to lower stomach side effects.
• Separate this capsule from multivitamins or supplements containing vitamins A, D, E, K or beta-carotene by at least 2 hours, usually at bedtime.
• If a meal is very high in fat, digestive side effects are more likely, so staying within your eating plan matters.

Each Lipocut 60 mg Capsule delivers 60 mg of orlistat. It may be taken up to 3 times daily with meals that contain fat, but the exact schedule and duration should be decided by your doctor or pharmacist based on your treatment plan. Do not exceed 180 mg per day unless a prescriber specifically tells you otherwise.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Orlistat may include:

• Oily or fatty stools
• Passing gas with oily discharge
• Urgent or more frequent bowel movements
• Loose stools or diarrhea
• Stomach cramping or abdominal discomfort
• More digestive side effects after high-fat meals

• Use only as part of a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet; high-fat meals raise the chance of oily bowel side effects.
• Lipocut 60 mg Capsule is not meant to treat sudden weight loss needs or replace exercise and diet changes.
• Tell your clinician if you have a history of kidney stones, gallbladder disease, liver disease, or malabsorption problems.
• Use caution if you take diabetes medicine, because improving diet and weight loss can change blood sugar needs.
• Take a multivitamin containing fat-soluble vitamins at a separate time, since orlistat can reduce vitamin absorption.
• Do not use this capsule if you are pregnant; weight loss medicines are generally not appropriate during pregnancy.
• If you develop severe or ongoing stomach symptoms, stop the capsule and seek medical advice.

• Warfarin and other blood thinners
• Cyclosporine
• Levothyroxine
