## What is Reeshape 60 Capsule

Reeshape 60 Capsule is a prescription anti-obesity medicine used to support weight reduction in overweight and obese adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of over 30 kg/m2. Each capsule contains Orlistat (60 mg), an FDA-approved lipase inhibitor. It is manufactured by Meyer Organics Pvt. Ltd. in a GMP-compliant facility.

Orlistat acts locally in the stomach and small intestine by inhibiting gastric and pancreatic lipases, which break down dietary fat. As a result, around one-third of the fat consumed is not absorbed and eliminated through the stool, lowering calorie intake and supporting progressive weight reduction. It is primarily recommended for Obesity management and to reduce the risk of conditions associated with Obesity, such as Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension (High Blood Pressure), and High Cholesterol, when combined with a healthy lifestyle.

The usual dose is 1 capsule 3 times daily, taken during or within 1 hour after each main meal containing fat. Do not take the medication if you miss a meal or eat a fat-free meal. If you miss a scheduled dose, do not double the next one. In case of an overdose, get medical advice immediately if you experience severe oily stools, urgent bowel movements, or intense abdominal cramps.

Possible side effects include oily spotting, oily or fatty stools, abdominal discomfort, and loose stools. Obtain urgent medical care if you develop severe abdominal pain, Jaundice, or persistent vomiting.

Orlistat should not be used if you have Chronic Malabsorption Syndrome (poor nutrient absorption), Cholestasis (reduced bile flow from the liver), hypersensitivity to the medicine, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. Use cautiously in patients with Anorexia, Bulimia Nervosa, or kidney disease, since it could increase the risk of kidney stones.

Store the capsules below 30°C in a cool, dry area afar from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight.

## What are the benefits of taking Reeshape 60 Capsule

The Reeshape capsule includes Orlistat and is intended for individuals trying to lose weight. It works directly in your digestive tract by inhibiting the chemical enzyme lipase, which degrades dietary fats. When used as directed and combined with a doctor-approved low-fat diet and an active lifestyle, this capsule offers the following health benefits:

Effective weight management: By preventing your body from absorbing about 25% to 30% of the fat you consume, it prevents those additional calories from being stored, thus supporting your long-term weight-loss objectives.

Improved metabolic health: Losing extra body weight can significantly reduce your chance of developing obesity-related health problems, including Hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes.

## How quickly does Reeshape 60 Capsule work

Reeshape 60 Capsule usually starts functioning within 24 to 48 hours by decreasing the absorption of dietary fat from meals. Orlistat reaches its maximal plasma concentration around 8 hours, although it acts locally in the gastrointestinal tract and has a fat-blocking effect with each fat-containing meal. Due to ongoing suppression of fat digestion, the medication remains effective for 24 to 48 hours after the previous dose.

The best results are obtained by taking Reeshape with or within 1 hour of eating a fat-containing meal. High-fat meals might worsen gastrointestinal side effects, although alcohol has no significant impact on Orlistat’s effectiveness. Individual responses could differ based on nutrition, metabolism, adherence, and dose. Consult a healthcare provider for tailored timing advice.

## Reeshape 60 Capsule: Generic Orlistat vs Xenical

Reeshape 60 Capsules contain Orlistat, the same FDA-approved active ingredient found in Xenical. Both medications act by inhibiting intestinal lipases, reducing dietary fat absorption and aiding weight reduction when used with a nutritious diet and regular exercise.

Generic Orlistat products must fulfill the same bioequivalence, quality, safety, and effectiveness criteria as their brand-name equivalents. Meyer Organics Pvt. Ltd. manufactures Reeshape in GMP-compliant facilities.

The key difference is price. The per-pill price of brand Xenical is around $5.01 at US pharmacies, while Reeshape 60 is available at Cheap Medicine Shop for $0.84/pill. The only variances could be in the manufacturer, packaging, appearance, and inactive substances, which do not affect Orlistat’s medicinal properties.

## What are the side effects of Reeshape 60 Capsule

The most commonly reported side effects of this Obesity treatment include:

Diarrhea

Abdominal pain

Steatorrhea (foul-smelling, oily bowel movements)

Anal fissures

Fecal spotting

These effects resolve on their own without requiring treatment with continued use. However, get medical attention if any side effect is severe, does not go away, or interferes with your daily activities.

## Safety Advice

Liver Disease

People with liver disease should use the Reeshape capsule cautiously. Although Orlistat acts mainly in the intestine, rare instances of severe liver injury have been reported. It is strictly not recommended if you have Cholestasis, a condition where bile flow from the liver is blocked. Always contact your doctor if you have any pre-existing liver issues.

Kidney Impairment

Individuals with kidney impairment should consult their doctor before taking the Reeshape capsule. Orlistat might increase the likelihood of kidney stones caused by oxalate accumulation, particularly in individuals with existing kidney disease. Regular monitoring or dose changes are recommended during treatment.

Pregnant and Breastfeeding women

This weight management capsule is not recommended during pregnancy as weight loss offers no benefit to a developing baby and could cause harm. It is also not recommended while breastfeeding due to limited safety data on its excretion into breast milk.

Avoid

There is no known direct interaction between Reeshape 60 Capsule and alcohol. However, excessive alcohol intake could hinder weight-loss efforts and contribute to unnecessary calorie consumption; hence, it should be avoided. Also, avoid taking Reeshape capsules with Cyclosporine, Levothyroxine, Warfarin , Amiodarone, or some antiepileptic medications, as these medications could reduce Reeshape’s efficacy or alter blood levels.
