About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Lipophage 120 Capsule contains Orlistat 120 mg, a potent lipase inhibitor indicated for the management of obesity. It acts by selectively inhibiting gastric and pancreatic lipases, enzymes responsible for the hydrolysis of dietary triglycerides into absorbable free fatty acids and monoglycerides. By preventing the breakdown and subsequent absorption of approximately 30% of dietary fat, Lipophage 120 facilitates weight reduction in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet. This medication is prescribed for overweight and obese patients (body mass index ≥30 kg/m² or ≥27 kg/m² with associated risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, or dyslipidemia) to improve weight loss and maintain long-term weight control. Clinical studies have demonstrated that Orlistat, when combined with lifestyle modification, significantly reduces body weight, improves lipid profiles, and decreases the risk of obesity-related comorbidities. Lipophage 120 is administered orally, typically three times daily with each main meal containing fat. Common adverse effects include gastrointestinal disturbances such as oily spotting, flatulence with discharge, and fecal urgency, which are generally mild and related to unabsorbed fat. Patients should adhere to a nutritionally balanced, reduced-fat diet to minimize side effects and ensure adequate intake of fat-soluble vitamins. Caution is advised in patients with malabsorption syndromes or cholestasis.
