How long does it take for metabolism to return to normal after taking weight loss pills

It cannot be generalized how long it takes for metabolism to return to normal after taking weight loss pills. Generally, there are two types of weight loss drugs: traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine. The metabolic time of different drugs varies. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Traditional Chinese medicine: Common Chinese medicines with weight loss effects include lotus leaves, coix seed, red beans, etc. They are usually boiled in water and can achieve certain weight loss effects through diuretic effects. Due to the use of only a single Chinese medicinal herb and a small amount, the metabolism time will be relatively fast, and it may take 3-7 days for metabolism to return to normal.

2. Western medicine: Currently, the safest Western medicine weight loss drug on the market is Orlistat capsules, which mainly exert therapeutic effects by inactivating enzymes. Because inactive enzymes cannot hydrolyze fats in food into free fatty acids and monoacylglycerols that can be absorbed by the body, they can reduce calorie intake and control weight. If taken for a short period of time and in small amounts, the metabolic time may be 3-7 days. If taken for a long time, the metabolic recovery time may be around 15 days.
