Description
Orlos 60mg Capsules
Orlos 60mg Capsules are a weight loss aid for adults aged 18 and over with a body mass index (BMI) of 28 or above, to be used in conjunction with a reduced calorie, lower-fat diet. The clinically proven formula works by blocking approximately 25% of the fat you consume from being absorbed, and when used correctly with a lower-fat diet can help you lose an additional 1lb for each 2lb that you lose.
The active ingredient is orlisat, which attaches itself to the natural enzymes that break down fat inside your body (lipases), so that less of the fat you eat is absorbed. This undigested fat cannot be stored and is passed out of the body in your stools. The safety and efficacy of orlistat has been established in more than 100 clinical studies with data from over 30,000 people. If you stick to your recommended diet and exercise plan, it is unlikely you will experience many problems, however, as this is a diet-related treatment, there is a possibility that some side effects may occur. If you eat too much fat you increase your chances of experiencing diet-related treatment effects, the most common of which are wind (with or without oily spotting), more frequent bowel movements, fatty or oily stools and loose stools. It is therefore important that you commit to a to lower-fat diet to manage these effects.
Remember, the harder you work on your diet, the more Orlos 60mg Capsules can help you!

Always take this medicine exactly as described in the leaflet or as your doctor or pharmacist have told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
- Take Orlos 60mg Capsules just before, during or up to one hour after meals. This usually means one capsule at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Make sure your three main meals are well balanced, reduced calorie, and lower-fat.
- If you miss a meal, or your meal contains no fat, do not take a capsule. Orlos does not work unless there is some fat in the meal.
- Swallow the capsule whole with water.
- Do not take more than 3 capsules a day.
- Eat lower-fat meals to reduce the chance of diet-related treatment effects.
- Try to be more physically active before you start taking the capsules. Physical activity is an important part of a weight loss programme. Remember to check with your doctor first if you have not exercised before. Continue to be active while taking Orlos 60mg Capsules and after you stop taking it.

Cautions
- If you do not lose weight after taking Orlos 60mg Capsules for 12 weeks, see your doctor or pharmacist for advice. You may need to stop taking Orlos Capsules.
- Orlos should not be taken for more than six months.
- The oral contraceptive pill may be less effective if you get severe diarrhoea. Use an extra method of contraception if you get severe diarrhoea.
