Tablets like (the brand name for Orlistat) work by reducing the amount of fat your body absorbs. Ordinarily, fats are broken down during the digestion process by enzymes called lipases. Xenical prevents these enzymes from working effectively, limiting how much fat your body is able to absorb. The remaining, undigested fat is then excreted.
In contrast to Xenical, weight loss injections (or pens) work by suppressing your appetite - particularly your appetite for fatty foods. Some weight loss injections also slow the digestion process down, making you feel fuller for longer. They’re simple to use - check out our for more information.
Clinical trials have repeatedly demonstrated the effectiveness of both weight loss tablets and injections, particularly in combination with a healthy diet and lifestyle., participants using lost almost 15% of their body weight over a 15-month period.

Orlistat is a lipase inhibitor medicine that prevents stomach acid from being absorbed. Orlistat is designed to reduce the amount of acid that can be absorbed by your stomach. It is usually taken once a day, in the morning, or at the recommended dose, with or without food.
The first thing to do when taking orlistat is to consult your healthcare provider. Orlistat should be taken at the same time each day, even if you have no food to eat at the moment. This is because food can make the medicine work, or it may not. In this case, it is important to take it at the same time every day, as your body needs to absorb the medicine, and it is best to take it with or without food.
Orlistat is not intended for everyone. You should also be careful to avoid taking it with other medicines unless you know how they will affect you. If you take orlistat with a certain combination of medicines, there could be an increased risk of side effects. These include diarrhoea, constipation, and stomach pain.
If you are taking orlistat, be sure to tell your healthcare provider if you have taken it with or without food, or if you have any of the following:
You should also avoid taking orlistat if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you become pregnant while taking orlistat, you should talk to your healthcare provider. Orlistat can pass into breast milk. If you are breastfeeding, your healthcare provider should advise you to stop taking orlistat.
Do not take orlistat if you have been diagnosed with a stomach ulcer or if you have recently had an orlistat prescription. In that case, you need to consult your healthcare provider to find out if you need to take orlistat if you have a history of stomach ulcers or if you have ever had an orlistat prescription.
If you are taking orlistat, take it as directed by your doctor, and do not take it for more than two weeks after the last dose. You should tell your healthcare provider if you are taking orlistat for an additional week or more. If you are taking orlistat for a long time, talk to your healthcare provider to find out if you need to take orlistat.
