Details

Orlos (Orlistat) 60mg Weight Loss Aid Capsules is a weight loss medication that can be used alongside a low-fat diet and a healthy lifestyle to help you lose more weight than dieting alone.

Orlos doesn’t do all of the work for you, but it helps to make your hard work count more. For example, if you lose 4lb by dieting alone, Orlos can help you lose 2lb more!

If you have a BMI of 28 or over and start following a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet, Orlos could help you meet your weight loss goals.

How Orlos (Orlistat) 60mg Weight Loss Aid Capsules work

Orlistat is the active ingredient in Orlos capsules, and it works by changing how your body absorbs fat.

Orlistat stops a quarter of the fat in your food from being absorbed into your body so it can be passed with your stools. When combined with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet, this can help you lose weight by reducing your overall fat intake.

Directions

Always take Orlos exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor / Chemist4U pharmacist has told you.

Take 1 Orlos capsule 3 times a day. Swallow your capsule with a sip of water during your meal, or take it within an hour after your meal.

For the best results, you should spread your tablets evenly throughout the day and after a balanced meal, such as breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

If you skip a meal or your meal contains no fat, do not take your Orlos capsule. It will not work if there is no fat in your meal.

Do not take more than 3 capsules a day.

You shouldn’t take Orlos for more than 6 months. As long as you are making positive changes to your diet and exercise, this should be enough to kick-start your weight loss.

If you haven’t lost weight after taking these capsules for 12 weeks, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
