How does Reeshape act?
Orlistat is a novel Anti-Obesity agent, which selectively and potently inhibits the absorption and hydrolysis of fat that result in 30% decrease in fat absorption and therefore reduces total energy intake to produce a significant weight loss. Orlistat is a reversible inhibitor of lipases. Due to its unique mode of action, Orlistat has local action and no CNS related side effects, not an appetite suppressant and hence the first safe treatment for obesity.
