Slimtop 120 mg Tablet

Slimtop 120 mg Tablet contains orlistat 120 mg in each tablet and is used to help with weight loss in adults who are overweight or obese. Orlistat belongs to a class of medicines called lipase inhibitors, which work in the gut rather than acting like an appetite suppressant. Slimtop 120 mg Tablet is typically used along with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet and regular physical activity to support weight management.

How it works: Slimtop 120 mg Tablet blocks some of the enzymes in your digestive tract that break down dietary fat. As a result, about part of the fat you eat is not absorbed and passes out of the body in the stool.

Slimtop 120 mg Tablet is the full prescription-strength form of orlistat, so it is for people a doctor has already assessed and who need the stronger 120 mg dose rather than a lower-dose or nonprescription option. Because this is the higher-strength tablet, it is chosen when the prescriber wants the standard prescription effect on dietary fat absorption, not an immediate stimulant-type feeling or quick appetite change.

• Weight loss in adults with obesity
• Weight loss in adults with overweight plus weight-related risk factors
• Help maintaining weight loss after initial loss
• Support for a calorie-controlled, low-fat diet

• Take Slimtop 120 mg Tablet by mouth with water.
• Use it during a meal or up to 1 hour after the meal, only if the meal contains fat.
• If you skip a meal or the meal has no fat, you usually do not take a dose for that meal.
• Do not crush or chew the tablet unless your prescriber or pharmacist specifically tells you to.
• Follow a low-fat, reduced-calorie eating plan to reduce stomach and bowel side effects.

Each Slimtop 120 mg Tablet provides 120 mg of orlistat per tablet. The usual schedule is one tablet with each main meal that contains fat, up to 3 times daily, but your doctor decides the exact dosing based on your needs and diet. Do not exceed 3 tablets in 24 hours unless your prescriber specifically instructs you to.

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