About Orlistat
Orlistat(Xenical) is a drug designed to treat obesity. Its primary function is preventing the absorption of fats from the human diet, thereby reducing caloric intake.
Orlistat is used with a low-calorie diet to help you lose weight and to maintain your weight after weight loss.
Orlistat is in a class of drugs called lipase inhibitors. It works in your intestines, where it blocks some of the fat you eat from being absorbed and digested. This undigested fat is then removed in your bowel movements.
