Slimtop 120 120 mg contains orlistat, a medicine used in weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, nutritionally balanced, lower-fat diet and physical activity. The 120 mg strength is generally prescribed for eligible people with obesity or overweight with related risk factors, depending on local guidance. A healthcare professional should assess whether treatment is suitable; the medicine does not replace lifestyle measures.
Orlistat blocks gastric and pancreatic lipases within the digestive tract, reducing the breakdown and absorption of some dietary fat. Unlike GLP-1 receptor agonists, it does not act primarily through appetite receptors. Weight-management results vary and depend partly on dietary habits and adherence.
Follow the instructions for the specific 120 mg product and the prescriber’s or pharmacist’s directions. Orlistat is generally used with main meals containing fat, and a dose is omitted if a meal is missed or contains no fat. Do not exceed the recommended dosing or substitute 60 mg and 120 mg strengths without professional advice. A very high-fat meal may increase gastrointestinal side effects.
Oily stools, oily spotting, flatulence, more frequent bowel movements and urgent bowel movements can occur. They are often more noticeable after high-fat meals. Orlistat can reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K; ask a healthcare professional whether a multivitamin is indicated and when to take it separately from orlistat.
Orlistat is unsuitable for some people, including those with chronic malabsorption syndrome or cholestasis. It should not be used during pregnancy for weight reduction. Discuss chronic kidney problems and all other medicines before starting treatment, especially ciclosporin, warfarin, levothyroxine and certain anti-seizure medicines. Persistent severe abdominal pain, jaundice, serious allergic symptoms or rectal bleeding warrant medical assessment.
