Lipophage 60mg Capsule
contains Orlistat 60mg manufactured by Intas Pharmaceuticals, a trusted Indian pharmaceutical brand. Orlistat is a gastrointestinal lipase inhibitor taken three times daily with fat-containing meals to block approximately 25% of dietary fat absorption. Lipophage offers a cost-effective alternative to branded orlistat for overweight adults pursuing medically supervised weight management.
Benefits:
- Blocks approximately 25% of fat calories from each fat-containing meal
- Supports gradual, clinically meaningful weight loss over 6 months
- Local mechanism of action — minimal systemic absorption, high safety profile
- Cost-effective generic orlistat from a reputable Indian pharmaceutical manufacturer
- Can be combined with dietary and exercise interventions for optimal results
How It Works:
Orlistat inhibits the activity of gastric and pancreatic lipases in the gastrointestinal tract, preventing the enzymatic breakdown of dietary triglycerides into absorbable free fatty acids and monoglycerides. The undigested triglycerides pass through the gut lumen and are excreted in the stool. By reducing the caloric yield from dietary fat, orlistat helps create the caloric deficit needed for weight loss without any systemic pharmacological effect.
Dosage and Administration:
Take one Lipophage 60mg capsule orally three times daily, once with each main fat-containing meal during or within 1 hour after eating. If a meal is missed or contains no fat, that dose may be skipped. Maintain a balanced, reduced-fat diet (less than 30% of calories from fat per meal) for best results and fewest GI side effects.
Side Effects:
Common: oily spotting, fatty/oily stools, faecal urgency, loose stools, increased defecation frequency, flatulence with oily discharge. Severity is directly related to the fat content of meals — lower-fat meals produce minimal side effects. Rare: liver enzyme elevation (seek medical advice if jaundice or abdominal pain develops).
Precautions:
Take a daily fat-soluble multivitamin (containing vitamins A, D, E, and K) at bedtime or at least 2 hours away from Lipophage doses. Not suitable in chronic malabsorption, cholestasis, or during pregnancy. Monitor thyroid function if co-administered with levothyroxine. Not for use in children under 18 years.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is Lipophage 60mg used for?
Lipophage 60mg contains orlistat, a fat absorption blocker used to support weight loss in overweight adults as part of a calorie-controlled, reduced-fat diet programme. It blocks approximately 25% of dietary fat from being absorbed in the intestines.
Q2: Who manufactures Lipophage?
Lipophage 60mg is manufactured by Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd., a leading Indian pharmaceutical company known for quality generic and branded medications across multiple therapy areas.
Q3: Is Lipophage 60mg the same as branded Alli or Xenical?
Yes. Lipophage 60mg contains the same active ingredient (orlistat 60mg) as Alli, the branded OTC orlistat product. The mechanism of action and clinical effect are identical; Lipophage is a quality cost-effective alternative.
Q4: How should I plan my diet while taking Lipophage?
Distribute daily fat intake evenly across three meals, limiting fat to no more than 15–20g per meal (roughly 30% of total calories). High-fat meals will trigger intense oily GI side effects and reduce the medication's effectiveness.
Q5: Can Lipophage 60mg be taken with anti-anxiety medications?
No significant drug interaction has been established between orlistat and most anxiolytics. However, if you are on cyclosporine for anxiety-related conditions, take cyclosporine at least 3 hours apart from orlistat, as absorption may be reduced.
Q6: Does Lipophage 60mg affect the absorption of oral contraceptives?
No clinically significant interaction between orlistat and combined oral contraceptive pills has been demonstrated in pharmacokinetic studies. However, if diarrhoea is severe, there is a theoretical risk of reduced pill absorption — use additional contraception during this time.
Q7: Can I use Lipophage 60mg for more than 6 months?
The 60mg OTC dose is recommended for up to 6 months. If you need longer-term therapy, consult a physician who may consider escalating to the prescription 120mg dose with appropriate monitoring.
Q8: Will I regain weight if I stop Lipophage?
Like most weight-loss aids, orlistat's benefits are contingent on continued use alongside dietary changes. If you stop taking it without maintaining the dietary changes, some weight regain is likely. The diet habits established during treatment are the primary long-term determinant of weight maintenance.
Q9: Can Lipophage 60mg cause vitamin D deficiency?
Yes. By blocking fat absorption, orlistat reduces the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins including vitamin D. Supplementation with a multivitamin containing vitamin D is important, especially for patients already at risk of deficiency.
Q10: Is Lipophage safe to use alongside metformin?
No significant pharmacokinetic interaction exists between orlistat and metformin. They can be safely used together in patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes, and the combined effect on weight and glycaemic control can be complementary.
