Obiara 120 Capsule

Obiara 120 Capsule is a prescription weight-loss medicine that contains orlistat in each capsule. Orlistat is a lipase inhibitor, a drug class that helps reduce the amount of dietary fat your body absorbs. It is used along with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet and exercise plan in adults with obesity or overweight-related health concerns. Obiara 120 Capsule is not a stimulant; it works in the gut rather than by suppressing appetite.

How it works: After you swallow the Obiara 120 Capsule, the orlistat stays in your digestive tract and blocks some of the enzymes that break down fat. This means part of the fat you eat is not absorbed and leaves the body in the stool.

Obiara 120 Capsule is the full-strength orlistat capsule used when a clinician decides the 120 mg dose is appropriate. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, this capsule represents the standard prescription orlistat capsule format, and it is meant for people who have been medically assessed for treatment. Your doctor may choose Obiara 120 Capsule when they want the established prescription dose with food-based use and weight-management counseling.

• Adjunct to reduced-calorie diet for weight loss
• Support for weight management in adults with obesity
• Help with weight loss in adults with overweight and related risk factors
• May help improve weight-related health measures when used with diet and exercise

• Take Obiara 120 Capsule exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Swallow the capsule whole with water.
• Take it during a meal or up to 1 hour after a meal that contains fat.
• If you skip a meal or the meal has no fat, you may skip that dose.
• Do not take more than 3 capsules in 24 hours unless your doctor specifically tells you to.
• Keep meals lower in fat to reduce stomach and bowel side effects.

Obiara 120 Capsule provides orlistat 120 mg per capsule, which is the prescription-strength dose of this medicine. It is commonly taken one capsule with each main meal that contains fat, up to 3 times per day, but your doctor decides the exact schedule for you. Do not exceed 3 capsules in one day unless your prescriber gives different instructions.

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
• Oily spotting on underwear
• Gas with oily discharge
• Urgent or more frequent bowel movements
• Loose stools or diarrhea
• Stomach pain or abdominal discomfort
• These effects can be more noticeable at the 120 mg prescription strength, especially if meals are high in fat

• Use only if your doctor has recommended prescription orlistat therapy for weight management.
• Keep fat intake moderate and spread across meals; very high-fat meals can worsen bowel side effects.
• Take a multivitamin containing vitamins A, D, E, K, and beta-carotene at least 2 hours before or after Obiara 120 Capsule.
• Tell your doctor if you have chronic malabsorption syndrome or cholestasis, because orlistat may not be appropriate.
• Use caution if you take diabetes medicines, since improved weight loss and diet changes may affect blood sugar.
• Tell your doctor about kidney disease or a history of kidney stones before starting treatment.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, ask your clinician before using this capsule.

• Warfarin and other anticoagulants
• Cyclosporine
• Levothyroxine
