About Orlifat 60 Capsule

Orlifat 60 Capsule belongs to the class of medication called anti-obesity drugs used to treat obesity and help in weight loss. Orlifat 60 Capsule is to be used along with a low-calorie diet and regular physical exercise. Obesity is a common condition associated with excessive body fat which in turn increases the risk of other health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, certain cancers, and heart disease. Intake of more calories than you burn by exercise or daily activities results in obesity.

Orlifat 60 Capsule contains Orlistat which works in the small intestine and stomach and prevents the action of enzymes that break down fat which is absorbed by the body. Orlifat 60 Capsule decreases the absorption of fat from the food you eat. Thus, fat passes through the gut and is excreted in the feces, which makes the body unable to use fat as a source of energy or convert it into fat tissue. Thereby, Orlifat 60 Capsule helps in weight loss.
