Overview
•Orlistat 120 mg is FDA-approved and safe for most adults when used with a reduced-calorie diet; common GI side effects include oily spotting and flatulence with discharge, affecting up to 20% of users.
•Dosage of 120 mg three times daily aligns with clinical trial protocols and safe limits, but requires fat-soluble vitamin supplementation to prevent deficiencies.
•Potential interactions with cyclosporine, warfarin, and thyroid medications; monitor vitamin A, D, E, K levels as orlistat reduces their absorption.
•Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to limited data; contraindicated in chronic malabsorption syndrome or cholestasis.
•Rare cases of oxalate nephropathy reported with long-term use; ensure adequate hydration and avoid high-oxalate diets.
•Allergen risks low, but gelatin in capsules may affect those with pork-derived sensitivities; no gluten or major food allergens present.
