Description
Orlistat 60mg capsules are weight loss products used to help people to cope with obesity by reducing the absorption of fat in their meals. Working directly on the digestive system, Orlistat prevents the enzyme responsible for the breakdown of fat on food from being absorbed by the body. As a result, part of the fat passes on undigested. Such focused action facilitates reduction of calories, and promotes weight maintenance along with low-calorie, low-fat diet and regular exercise.
