Lipocut 60mg Capsule

Lipocut 60mg Capsule – Introduction

Individuals who are 18 years and older and have a body mass index (BMI) of 28 or higher may be prescribed Lipocut 60 Capsule for weight management. Obesity is characterized by the abnormal or excessive accumulation of fat, which can pose health risks. These capsules contain Orlistat 60 mg and should be used in combination with a low-calorie diet and increased physical activity for effective weight loss.

How Lipocut 60mg Capsule Works: A Closer Look

Lipocut Capsules contain Orlistat 60mg, a medication belonging to a class of drugs known as lipase inhibitors. When taken, Orlistat works in the stomach and small intestine by blocking the absorption of dietary fats. It achieves this by inhibiting the action of enzymes responsible for breaking down fats during digestion. As a result, the body’s ability to absorb fat from food is reduced, leading to decreased calorie intake from fat.
