What diseases does Orlistat Capsules treat?
Recently, I found out that my girlfriend secretly bought Orlistat capsules. May I ask what medical condition do Orlistat capsules treat?
Orlistat capsules are primarily used for the treatment of obesity and its associated risk factors. Details are as follows:
1. Obesity: Orlistat capsules are mainly indicated for the treatment of obesity, especially in individuals with a BMI greater than 24. Orlistat is a lipase inhibitor that prevents the absorption of part of the dietary fat, thereby reducing caloric intake and achieving weight loss.
2. Control of associated risk factors: For obese patients, especially those with comorbidities such as hyperglycemia, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and fatty liver disease, Orlistat capsules can reduce the incidence of obesity-related conditions such as hypercholesterolemia, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension, and may help reduce fat accumulation in internal organs.
Medication should be taken under the guidance of a qualified physician. If discomfort occurs, prompt medical attention is recommended.
