Hi Ishita,
I would like to appreciate the initiatives taken by you for weight loss. You need to continue the daily exercise and strict diet so that you will achieve your aim.
Lipocut (orlistat) is used as an adjunct for weight reduction in obesity. That means you must take additional measures like exercise and strict diet to ensure that the medication works best.
Orlistat works by limiting the absorption of fat into your body. So it will take a while for the results to show up as it doesn't have any action on already present fat deposits in the body. It can be taken upto 3times daily with meals.
I would recommend you to keep up the good work and maintain fitness and your weight will reduce. Have a consultation with your doctor if you want to increase the dose. Do take the Lipocut at prescribed dose and duration only. Have a regular follow up and you can also try joining support groups for weight loss.
Hope the above information helps you. Thanks for writing into healthcaremagic. Have a wonderful day and all the best for your weight loss mission.
