The only recognized weight loss medication in China

Orlistat is currently the only recognized weight loss medication in China, which achieves weight loss by inhibiting the activity of gastrointestinal lipase and reducing fat absorption. Orlistat has the characteristics of inhibiting fat absorption, high safety, significant long-term use effect, suitable for various populations, and side effect management. The use of specific medications should be carried out under medical advice.

1. Inhibit fat absorption: Orestat reduces the absorption of fat in food by inhibiting lipase in the gastrointestinal tract, helping to lose weight. Patients should pay attention to the intake of fat in their diet when using orlistat. Excessive fat intake can increase gastrointestinal side effects, such as oily spots and urgency of bowel movements. It is recommended that patients follow a low-fat diet and increase their intake of vegetables and fruits to improve weight loss effectiveness.

2. High safety: Olistat only works in the gastrointestinal tract and does not pass through the circulatory system, so its systemic side effects are relatively few. When using Orlistat, patients should undergo regular liver and kidney function tests to ensure that the medication does not cause long-term damage to the body. If patients have liver and kidney dysfunction, they should use caution or choose other weight loss methods under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Long term use has significant effects: Studies have shown that continuous use of orlistat can effectively reduce weight and help maintain the weight loss effect. Patients should develop a long-term usage plan under the guidance of a doctor, and regularly assess their weight and health status to adjust their treatment plan. When using Orlistat for a long time, attention should be paid to nutritional balance to avoid malnutrition caused by reduced fat absorption.

4. Suitable for multiple populations: Orestat is suitable for obese patients and overweight individuals who need to control their weight. Before use, patients should undergo a comprehensive physical examination to determine if they are suitable for using Orlistat. For some special populations, such as pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and children, caution should be exercised when using or choosing other weight loss methods under the guidance of a doctor.

5. Side effect management: Common side effects of Orlistat include gastrointestinal discomfort, such as oily spots, urgency of bowel movements, etc. If patients experience serious side effects during use, they should seek medical attention promptly. Under the guidance of a doctor, patients can adjust the dosage of orlistat or switch to other weight loss medications. To reduce side effects, patients should maintain a low-fat diet during medication and avoid consuming large amounts of high-fat foods at once. To ensure weight loss effectiveness and safe use, patients should regularly check and adjust their treatment plan when using orlistat, maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and moderate exercise. Before using any medication, carefully read the instructions and use it under the guidance of a doctor.
