Orlistat Hexal prevents approximately 30% of dietary fat from being absorbed by your body. It achieves this by inhibiting pancreatic lipases, enzymes crucial for breaking down fats in your digestive system.
Without these enzymes fully functioning, a significant portion of ingested fat passes through your digestive tract undigested and is eliminated in your stool. This leads to a reduction in the number of calories absorbed, contributing to weight loss.
The unabsorbed fat also contributes to increased bowel movements and sometimes, oily stools or other digestive side effects. These are common side effects associated with Orlistat Hexis, and are generally temporary.
It’s important to note that Orlistat Hexal works best when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. The medication acts as a support tool, not a magic bullet for weight loss.
Remember to consult a healthcare professional before starting any weight loss medication, including Orlistat Hexal, to ensure it’s the right choice for your individual needs and health status.
