Orlistat Medication for Weight Loss
About Orlistat
Orlistat is a well-established weight management medication that functions by blocking the absorption of some of the fat from the foods you eat. By taking Orlistat alongside a calorie-reduced diet and exercise, it can effectively help reduce the amount of fat absorbed into your digestive system, aiding in weight loss. It is usually prescribed as part of a holistic weight management plan tailored to the needs of the individual by healthcare professionals at Manchester Weight Loss Clinic. For those looking to manage their weight more effectively, Orlistat provides a clinically tested solution.

Ingredients
Orlistat’s active ingredient is orlistat, which works directly in the digestive system and is minimally absorbed into the bloodstream. The inactive ingredients commonly include microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycolate, povidone, sodium lauryl sulfate, and talc.
Potential Side Effects
Common side effects of Orlistat include digestive tract issues such as oily or fatty stools, increased defecation, and occasional nausea.
