Which brand of Orlistat is better?

Orlistat (Orlistat) is a drug known as a fat binder. When a patient takes orlistat, the active ingredient binds to the fat in food so it cannot be digested and eliminated from your body. Excess fat is excreted through your stool, and one of the most common side effects is oily or fatty stool. This symptom can be reduced by eating less fat or spreading fat intake more evenly throughout your daily diet.

From the time a patient first takes Orlistat, it binds to the fat in the food he eats and takes effect immediately. However, this does not mean that he will lose a lot of weight immediately. Orlistat will help patients reduce caloric intake and achieve gradual and sustained weight loss, rather than causing unrealistically rapid decline. Steady weight loss of a pound or so per week is always the best option. The slower pace will allow for better eating and exercise habits, which will help patients maintain weight loss once they reach a healthy weight and end treatment.

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 listed overseas is 120mg*84 capsules per box, which may be around a few hundred yuan (the price may fluctuate due to exchange rates). The ingredients of the two drugs are basically the same, but the manufacturers are different. Patients should pay attention to the quality and safety of the brand when choosing orlistat drugs, and make decisions based on the advice of their doctors.
