Orlidunn is used for weight loss in adults over 18 years old who are overweight, with a body mass index (BMI) of 28 or higher. Orlidunn should be used in combination with a low-calorie and low-fat diet. The BMI is a way to know if you have a healthy weight or if you are overweight considering your height. The table included below will help you find out if you are overweight and if Orlidunn is suitable for you.
Risks of being overweight Being overweight increases the risk of developing various serious health problems, such as diabetes or heart disease. These conditions may not make you feel unwell, so you should see your doctor for a general check-up. How Orlidunn works The active ingredient in Orlidunn (orlistat) is designed to target the fat in your digestive system. It prevents about a quarter of the fat you take in from meals from being absorbed. This fat will be eliminated from your body in your stools. You may experience treatment-related effects (see section 4). Therefore, it is important that you follow a low-calorie and low-fat diet to manage those effects. If you do, the action of the capsules will help you in your efforts, helping you lose more weight than just with diet alone. For every 2 kg you lose with just diet, Orlidunn can help you lose an additional 1 kg.
