Orlos Capsules Pack of 84

What are Orlos capsules?

Orlos capsules are used as a weight loss aid that blocks enzymes in your digestive system from breaking down up to a third of fat you have eaten during meals. Orlos is used for weight loss alongside reduced calorie, lower-fat meals in overweight (BMI 28 or above) adults, aged 18 or over.

Orlos is clinically proven to help you lose more weight than dieting alone. The capsules work only in your digestive system to stop about a quarter of the fat in your meals from being absorbed. This fat passes out of your body and may cause changes to your bowel movements. Eat lower-fat meals to help manage these effects.

Take one capsule whole with water, three times a day with each main meal containing fat.

Do not take more than three capsules a day.

You should take a multivitamin (containing vitamins A, D, E and K) once a day, at bedtime.

You should not take Orlos for more than six months.
