Obelit 60 mg Capsule

Obelit 60 mg Capsule is a weight-loss medicine that contains 60 mg of orlistat in each capsule. It belongs to a class of medicines called lipase inhibitors, which help reduce the amount of fat your body absorbs from food. Obelit 60 mg Capsule is used along with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet in adults who need help managing weight.

How it works: Orlistat in Obelit 60 mg Capsule works in your intestines by blocking enzymes that break down dietary fat. The undigested fat then passes out of the body in the stool instead of being absorbed.

Obelit 60 mg Capsule is the lower-strength orlistat capsule compared with Obelit 120 mg Capsule. Doctors may choose Obelit 60 mg Capsule for people who are starting treatment, need a lower-dose option, or are following an over-the-counter style regimen under medical advice. It is not a fast-acting appetite suppressant; its effect is tied to how much fat is in your meals.

• Weight management in adults
• Support for reduced-calorie diet plans
• Helps reduce fat absorption from meals
• Used with exercise and lifestyle changes

• Take Obelit 60 mg Capsule exactly as directed, usually with each main meal that contains fat.
• Swallow the capsule whole with water; do not open, chew, or crush it.
• If you skip a meal or the meal has no fat, you may not need to take the capsule for that meal.
• Follow a low-fat diet to reduce stomach and bowel side effects.
• Do not take extra capsules to make up for a missed dose.
• Keep taking it only as long as your doctor recommends and pair it with diet and activity changes.

Each Obelit 60 mg Capsule provides 60 mg of orlistat. The usual schedule is one capsule with each main meal, up to 3 capsules in 24 hours, but your doctor decides the right plan for you based on your weight, diet, and overall health. This 60 mg strength is the lower-dose capsule; it should still be used only as part of a supervised weight-loss plan.

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