What is Forbical 120mg?

Forbical 120mg (Orlistat) is used to aid in weight loss, or to help reduce the risk of regaining weight already lost. This medicine must be used together with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Orlistat is for use only in adults that are overweight or obese.

How to Use?

Use orlistat exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Forbical is usually taken 3 times per day with each main meal that contains some fat. The dose may be taken during the meal or within 1 hour of completing the meal. The fat content of your daily diet should not be greater than 30% of your total daily caloric intake. For example, if you eat 1200 calories per day, no more than 360 of those calories should be in the form of fat. Orlistat is only part of a complete program of treatment that also includes diet and exercise.
