Orlistat Dosage - How to Lose Weight with Orlistat Capsules?

Generic Orlistat Capsules should be administered exactly as suggested by your doctor. Your doctor may recommend a dosage of Orlistat Capsules depending on your age, medical requirement, body weight, other medical conditions, and current medications.
Orlistat Capsules should be swallowed with a glass of water. Orlistat Capsules should be administered thrice daily, preferably after a meal containing some amount of fat (no more than 30% of the calories of that particular meal). Orlistat Capsules can be taken along with a meal or up to 1 hour after the meal. If you skip a meal or you eat a fat-free meal, you are allowed to skip your regular dose of Orlistat Capsule for that meal.
The recommended treatment dose is one 60 mg capsule to be taken three times daily. No more than three 60 mg capsules should be taken in 24 hours. Diet and exercise are important parts of a weight loss programme. It is recommended that a diet and exercise programme is started before beginning treatment with Obelit capsules.
While taking orlistat, the patient should be on a nutritionally balanced, mildly hypocaloric diet that contains approximately 30% of calories from fat (e.g. in a 2,000 kcal/day diet, this equates to less than 67 g of fat). The daily intake of fat, carbohydrate and protein should be distributed over three main meals. The diet and exercise programme should continue to be followed when treatment with Obelit capsules is stopped.
Treatment with Orlistat Capsules can make it difficult for your body to absorb fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins A, D, E, and K. Your doctor may recommend the administration of vitamin and mineral supplements during the course of Obelit Capsules. You should take these vitamin or mineral supplements, preferably at bedtime, or a minimum of 2 hours before or after the administration of Orlistat Capsules.
Please consult your doctor for exact dosing instructions. Obelit Capsules (Generic Orlistat Capsules) should be administered in the dose prescribed by the doctor and for the duration recommended by the doctor.

Missed Dose

If you remember the missed Orlistat Capsules the next day, take your regular dose and skip the missed dose. Do not take a double dose to compensate the missed dose of Orlistat Capsules.

Orlistat Mechanism of Action - How Does Obelit Work?

Orlistat is a weight loss medication which is used by patients who are obese or over weight. Dietary fats in our regular diet are degraded into smaller units which are more suitable for absorption by the body.
Orlistat inhibits lipase in the gut. This reduces the absorption of fat by approximately 30%. The decreased absorption of calories eventually leads to weight loss.
Lipase, an enzyme found in the digestive tract, helps break down dietary fat into smaller parts, so it can be used or stored for energy. Orlistat blocks the work of lipase. When you take the drug with a meal, about 25% of the fat you eat isn't broken down. The fat is passed through bowel movements.

Overdose

Single doses of 800 mg orlistat and multiple doses of up to 400 mg three times daily for 15 days have been studied in normal weight and obese subjects without significant clinical findings. In addition, doses of 240 mg three times daily have been administered to obese patients for 6 months. The majority of orlistat overdose cases received during post-marketing reported either no adverse reactions or adverse reactions that are similar to those reported with recommended doses of orlistat.
In the event of an overdose, medical advice should be sought. Should a significant overdose of orlistat occur, it is recommended that the patient be observed for 24 hours. Based on human and animal studies, any systemic effects attributable to the lipase-inhibiting properties of orlistat should be rapidly reversible.

Orlistat Capsules during Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Orlistat has been classified by the US FDA as Pregnancy Category X.
The administration of Orlistat Capsules is contraindicated during pregnancy, because weight loss offers no potential benefit to a pregnant woman and may result in fetal harm. A minimum weight gain, and no weight loss, is currently recommended for all pregnant women, including those who are already overweight or obese, due to the obligatory weight gain that occurs in maternal tissues during pregnancy. No embryotoxicity or teratogenicity was seen in animals that received orlistat at doses much higher than the recommended human dose. If this drug is used during pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard of maternal weight loss to the fetus.
Do not use this medicine in case you are pregnant. Stop using this medication and inform your doctor immediately if you become pregnant during treatment.
