Does Orlistat Provide Effective Weight Loss Results?

Orlistat has a relatively good effect on weight loss, but it needs to be taken under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, diet and exercise should also be used as adjuvant treatment, which is beneficial for achieving weight loss results.

Orlistat is a gastrointestinal lipase inhibitor that can inhibit the absorption of glycerides, reduce calorie intake, and control weight to achieve weight loss effects. It is suitable for long-term treatment of obesity or overweight individuals. Therefore, patients taking medication under the guidance of a doctor can achieve better results.

However, it is contraindicated for children under 18, pregnant women, lactating women, patients with biliary stasis, and patients with organic obesity, as it may induce other symptoms and affect physical health. During medication, patients should regularly visit the hospital for follow-up and closely monitor their condition to avoid inducing other symptoms.

In addition to medication, weight loss also requires dietary adjustments under the guidance of a doctor. High-calorie foods such as fried chicken, hamburgers, and milk tea should be eaten less, and fruits and vegetables should be the mainstay to control the amount of food intake. Furthermore, appropriate aerobic exercises such as jogging, skipping, swimming, etc., can promote metabolism and calorie consumption, which is beneficial for achieving better weight loss results.
