Buy Orlos (Orlistat) 60mg Weight Loss Aid Capsules 

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.

 

Side effects

Like all medicines, Orlos may cause side effects in some people, but these won’t affect everybody. Common side effects of this product may include:

 

  • Wind, with or without oily spotting 
  • Sudden bowel motions 
  • Oily discharge, fatty or oily stools 
  • Soft stools 
  • Stomach pain
  • Incontinence

If you experience any side effects, including any not included in the patient information leaflet, you can report them using the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme.

 

Serious side effects

Seek emergency medical attention if you notice any signs of a severe allergic reaction, symptoms of which include swelling of the face and throat, skin rash, breathing difficulties and/or loss of consciousness. 

If you experience any of the following side effects, stop taking this medication immediately and seek medical advice straight away: 

 

  • Bleeding from the back passage 
  • Diverticulitis (inflammation of the large intestine). Symptoms may include severe abdominal pain, which sometimes radiates towards the back, alongside a fever, nausea and vomiting
  • Skin blistering

Using/taking other medicines

If you are taking or have recently taken any medication, including medication obtained without a prescription, talk to your GP or pharmacist before taking this medication.

  • Ciclosporin (used after organ transplants, for severe rheumatoid arthritis and some severe skin conditions) 
  • Warfarin or other medications used to thin the blood
