Reeshape 120 Capsule

Reeshape 120 Capsule is a prescription weight-loss medicine that contains orlistat 120 mg in each capsule. It belongs to the lipase inhibitor class and is used to help reduce body weight in adults who are overweight or obese, along with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Reeshape 120 Capsule works in the gut rather than the brain, so it is not a stimulant and it does not suppress appetite. This product is intended for people whose clinician has decided that a prescription-strength orlistat capsule is appropriate.

How it works: Orlistat in Reeshape 120 Capsule blocks some of the enzymes in your digestive tract that break down dietary fat. As a result, part of the fat you eat is not absorbed and leaves your body in the stool.

Reeshape 120 Capsule is the full prescription-strength orlistat capsule, not a lower-dose product. Because each capsule contains 120 mg, it is generally chosen for patients who need the stronger, standard prescription dose rather than a milder option. A doctor may select Reeshape 120 Capsule when diet and activity alone have not been enough and the patient is able to follow a low-fat meal plan.

• Weight loss in adults with obesity
• Weight loss in adults with overweight and weight-related risk factors
• Support for a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet
• Helping prevent weight regain after initial loss
• Adjunct treatment when lifestyle changes alone are not enough

• Take Reeshape 120 Capsule by mouth with water during the meal or up to 1 hour after eating.
• Skip the capsule if you miss a meal or if the meal contains no fat.
• Do not take more than 1 capsule at a time or more than 3 capsules in 24 hours unless your doctor specifically instructs otherwise.
• Follow a lower-fat meal plan, because a high-fat meal can make digestive side effects more likely.
• Space it away from medicines that may need to be taken at a different time, as instructed by your pharmacist or doctor.

Each Reeshape 120 Capsule contains orlistat 120 mg, which is the prescription dose used with meals. It may be taken up to 3 times a day with main meals that contain fat, and the maximum is 360 mg per day. Your doctor decides whether this strength is right for you and how long you should use it.

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, especially if you eat a high-fat meal
• Oily spotting from the rectum
• Urgent or increased bowel movements
• Gas with oily discharge
• Loose stools or diarrhea
• Abdominal discomfort
• At this 120 mg strength, digestive side effects are more noticeable if the diet is not low in fat

• Use Reeshape 120 Capsule only if your clinician has said this prescription strength is appropriate for you.
• Eat a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet to lower the chance of oily stools and cramping.
• This medicine can reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins; your clinician may recommend a multivitamin taken at a different time of day.
• Tell your doctor if you have chronic malabsorption syndrome or cholestasis, because orlistat may not be appropriate.
• Use extra caution if you take warfarin or other blood thinners, because bleeding risk can change.
• Tell your doctor about diabetes medicines, thyroid medicine, seizure medicines, or transplant medicines before starting.
• If you have persistent severe abdominal symptoms, stop the capsule and get medical advice promptly.

• Warfarin and other anticoagulants
• Cyclosporine
• Levothyroxine
