The active ingredient, orlistat, is indicated for the treatment of obesity and overweight in combination with a moderately reduced-calorie diet. It is a potent, specific, and long-acting inhibitor of gastrointestinal lipases. By inhibiting gastric and pancreatic lipases, it prevents the breakdown and absorption of approximately 30% of dietary fat, allowing it to be eliminated through the feces. This reduces calorie intake and helps promote weight loss when combined with an appropriate diet and regular physical activity. Unlike many other weight-loss medications, orlistat does not suppress appetite or affect the central nervous system.
