Slimtop

Product Overview

Slimtop is an Orlistat-based medication formulated to support weight management when combined with a calorie-controlled diet and regular exercise. As a lipase inhibitor, Orlistat reduces fat absorption in the digestive system, helping to decrease overall calorie intake. This pharmaceutical solution is designed for overweight or obese individuals who have found it challenging to achieve significant weight loss through lifestyle modifications alone. The product comes in capsule form and requires professional medical supervision for proper use.

Uses

Slimtop (Orlistat) is clinically indicated for weight management in adults and adolescents aged 12+ with:
• BMI ≥30 kg/m² (obesity)
• BMI ≥27 kg/m² with weight-related comorbidities (e.g., hypertension, type 2 diabetes)
The medication must be used as part of a comprehensive weight management program that includes dietary modifications and increased physical activity for optimal therapeutic outcomes.

How to Use

For proper administration:
1. Take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat (maximum 3 capsules/day)
2. Swallow whole with water – do not crush or chew
3. If a meal is skipped or contains no fat, omit the dose
4. Supplement with daily multivitamin (taken ≥2 hours apart from Slimtop) to maintain fat-soluble vitamin levels

How it Works

Slimtop’s active ingredient, Orlistat, functions as a potent pancreatic lipase inhibitor. This mechanism:
• Blocks enzymatic breakdown of dietary triglycerides
• Reduces intestinal fat absorption by ~30%
• Promotes excretion of unabsorbed fats
• Creates calorie deficit to facilitate weight loss
The therapeutic effect is optimized when combined with dietary restrictions and physical activity.
