Lipocut

Product Overview

Lipocut is a pharmaceutical product containing Orlistat as its active ingredient. Designed to aid in weight management, this medication works by blocking the absorption of dietary fats in the body.

Indications

Lipocut is indicated for use in overweight and obese individuals. When combined with a calorie-restricted, low-fat diet and regular physical activity, it enhances weight loss efforts and helps maintain achieved weight loss.

Mechanism of Action

The active component Orlistat functions by inhibiting gastrointestinal lipases – enzymes responsible for fat breakdown. This inhibition prevents approximately 30% of consumed dietary fats from being absorbed, resulting in their elimination through bowel movements.

Dosage Instructions

Administer one Lipocut capsule with water during or within one hour after each fat-containing main meal. Omit the dose if a meal is skipped or contains negligible fat. The maximum recommended daily intake is three capsules.

Therapeutic Benefits

• Enhances weight reduction when used with dietary modifications and exercise

Precautions

• Contraindicated in patients with chronic malabsorption disorders or cholestasis
• Not recommended during pregnancy or lactation without medical supervision
• Optimal results require concomitant low-fat, balanced nutrition
