Overview:
Orlistat belongs to a class of medications called lipase inhibitors. Unlike many other weight loss medications, it does not suppress your appetite or affect your central nervous system.
-
The Mechanism: It acts locally in your digestive system (stomach and small intestine). It binds to and blocks enzymes called gastrointestinal lipases, which are responsible for breaking down dietary fats.
-
The Result: Because these enzymes are blocked, your body cannot absorb about one-third (30%) of the fat you consume in your meals. This unabsorbed fat is then naturally passed out of your body through bowel movements, reducing your overall calorie intake.
-
Obesity Management: It is typically prescribed for individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher if there are accompanying risk factors like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.
-
Long-Term Support: It helps individuals achieve initial weight loss and assists in maintaining that weight loss over time to prevent rebound weight gain.
-
Lessen Complications: Managing weight effectively can significantly reduce the risk of developing obesity-related medical issues.
