Orligal 120 mg

Orligal 120 mg is a drug that is used to treat obesity.

Orligal 120 mg belongs to the anti-obesity medicine family, which is used to treat obesity and aid weight reduction. Orligal 120 mg should be taken in conjunction with a low-calorie diet and frequent exercise. Obesity is a prevalent disorder characterized by excess body fat, which raises the risk of developing diabetes, high blood pressure, some malignancies, and heart disease. Obesity occurs when you consume more calories than you burn via exercise or daily activities.

Orligal 120 mg includes Orlistat, a fat-blocking agent that acts in the small intestine and stomach to inhibit enzymes from breaking down fat that is absorbed by the body. Orligal 120 mg works by reducing fat absorption from the meals you eat. As a result, fat passes through the intestines and is expelled in the feces, preventing the body from using fat as an energy source or converting it to fat tissue. Orligal 120 mg aids weight loss in this way.

Orligal 120 mg should be used for as long as your doctor recommends it based on your medical condition. Soft stools, abrupt bowel movements, flatulence (gas) with or without greasy spotting, oily or fatty stools, stomach discomfort, stool incontinence (involuntary feces leaking), and runny or liquid stools are all possible symptoms. The majority of Orligal 120 mg side effects do not require medical care and fade away with time. If the adverse effects do not go away, please see your doctor.

Please inform your doctor if you are allergic to Orligal 120 mg or any other medications. If you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant, avoid using Orligal 120 mg since it may damage the fetus. Orligal 120 mg is not known to be excreted in human milk. If you are a breastfeeding mother, please seek medical advice. Orligal 120 mg is not suggested for children under the age of 18 since its safety and effectiveness have yet to be determined. Because Orligal 120 mg may inhibit the absorption of some vitamins in the body, it is recommended that you take a multivitamin containing fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, and K before night.
