Instructions for use for ORLISTAT HEXAL 60 mg hard capsules, 42 pcs

Summary: Orlistat HEXAL 60 mg hard capsules are used for weight reduction in overweight adults over 18 years of age with a body mass index (BMI) of 28 or higher. They should be taken in combination with a low-fat, low-calorie diet. Orlistat works by preventing a quarter of the fat ingested from being absorbed by the body. This excess fat is then excreted in the stool. Side effects can include bloating, oily stools and soft stools. In some cases, severe allergic reactions may occur. It is important to discuss taking Orlistat HEXAL 60 mg with a doctor or pharmacist and to follow the information in the leaflet. Orlistat HEXAL 60 mg should be stopped after 6 months if weight loss has not been achieved. Long-term lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise, are important to maintain weight.
