Medicine: Orlistat

Achieving a healthy weight can be a struggle for many people in the UK despite exercising and having a well-balanced calorie-controlled diet. Orlistat (Xenical)120mg is a healthy weight loss pill that works by blocking one-third of the fat eaten from being digested. This is a prescription-only weight loss aid for overweight adults with a BMI over 30 or those with a BMI over 28 accompanied by associated risk factors (diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure or high cholesterol). Orlistat tablets, taken one with each of the three main meals per day could help you to lose up to 50% more bodyweight than with dieting alone.
