How many pounds can you lose with Orlistat in 10 days?

Orlistat (Orlistat) is a prescription or over-the-counter drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to help overweight adults lose weight. Orlistat works by preventing fat from being absorbed into the body during meals, and you may lose about 5-10 pounds (2-5kg) in the first 6 months of taking orlistat.

The effects of orlistat vary from individual to individual, and weight changes may vary from person to person. Effective weight loss usually requires a combination of appropriate diet and exercise programs. According to some studies, people who use orlistat (120 mg three times daily) lose an average of 1 to 2 kilograms of weight per week while using it. Therefore, after 10 days of using orlistat, you may be able to lose approximately 1 to 2 kilograms of weight. However, it's important to note that weight changes may vary for each individual and this number is only an estimate. Changes in weight are also affected by other factors, such as basal metabolic rate, diet, exercise level and individual differences.

The original drug of Orlistat has been marketed in China, but it has not yet entered the scope of medical insurance. There are also domestically produced drugs developed by other pharmaceutical companies on the market. The price of each box may be around tens of RMB, which is cheap. The price of the Indian version of Orlistat 120mg*84 capsules per box sold overseas may be around a few hundred RMB (the price may fluctuate due to the exchange rate). The drug ingredients of the two are basically the same, but they are produced by different manufacturers. Patients can choose by themselves.
