Orlistat is designed to aid weight loss by blocking the absorption of some of the fat from the food you eat, passing it out through the gut. It’s essential that you take orlistat in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet that’s low in fat to minimize side effects like gastrointestinal discomfort. Focus on your eating habits—aim for balanced meals with plenty of vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and whole grains. Avoid meals high in fat as they can increase side effects. Since you’re using generic orlistat from Dava India, ensure it’s taken exactly as directed, typically with each main meal containing fat. If a meal is missed or has no fat, you can skip the orlistat dose. Regular exercise—about 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week, like brisk walking or cycling—can significantly enhance your weight loss efforts. Remember to also drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Monitor your progress by keeping a food diary; this can help identify areas for improvement. Keep an eye on your vitamin intake, as orlistat can reduce the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K. A daily multivitamin taken at least 2 hours before or after orlistat may be beneficial. Before initiating or continuing the medication, it’s a good idea to discuss your weight loss plan with a healthcare provider to ensure it’s safe and appropriate for you, considering your age and health profile. If you notice any unusual symptoms or side effects while taking orlistat, consult with your doctor to ensure it’s appropriate to continue.
