Orlistat 120 mg – Slimtop 120

Active ingredient: Orlistat 120 mg
Dosage form: Oral capsule (verify actual supplied presentation)
Class: Gastrointestinal lipase inhibitor
Availability: Subject to applicable prescription or pharmacy rules

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.

What does orlistat do?

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.

How is 120 mg used?

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.

Common side effects and practical considerations

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.

Warnings, interactions and when to seek help

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.

Frequently asked questions

Does orlistat suppress appetite?

No. Orlistat acts in the digestive tract to reduce fat absorption rather than working as an appetite suppressant.

Why can oily stools occur?

Because some dietary fat is not absorbed. Higher-fat meals can make oily stools and urgency more noticeable.

Should I take a capsule if I skip a meal?

Typically not if the meal is missed or contains no fat; follow the directions on the supplied product leaflet.

Are 60 mg and 120 mg capsules interchangeable?

No. They have different authorized uses and supervision requirements in some countries. Ask a clinician or pharmacist before changing strengths.

Can Cureiva handle international enquiries?

Cureiva accepts wholesale and individual medicine enquiries subject to applicable laws, documentation, availability and destination-country restrictions. An enquiry does not guarantee supply.
