OBESITY MANAGEMENT

Obesity management is a category that focuses on addressing and controlling excess body fat to avoid health complications. It includes various approaches, such as dietary changes, exercise programs, counseling, and in some cases, medications.

Orlistat, a medication commonly used in obesity management, works by blocking the absorption of dietary fat in the intestines. By reducing the body’s ability to absorb fat, it can help individuals lose weight and maintain a healthy body mass index (BMI). Orlistat is typically prescribed in combination with a reduced-calorie diet and exercise plan to enhance its effectiveness.

However, it is important to note that orlistat is not a magic solution for weight loss, and it is not suitable for everyone. Potential side effects may include digestive issues, such as oily stool, flatulence, and abdominal discomfort.

Before considering orlistat or any other weight management method, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized guidance and recommendations.
