Posology
_ _
_Adults _
The recommended treatment dose is one 60 mg capsule to be taken three
times daily. No more than
three 60 mg capsules should be taken in 24 hours.
Diet and exercise are important parts of a weight loss programme. It
is recommended that a diet and
exercise programme is started before beginning treatment with alli.
While taking orlistat, the patient should be on a nutritionally
balanced, mildly hypocaloric diet that
contains approximately 30% of calories from fat (e.g. in a 2,000
kcal/day diet, this equates to <67 g
of fat). The daily intake of fat, carbohydrate and protein should be
distributed over three main meals.
The diet and exercise programme should continue to be followed when
treatment with alli is stopped.
Treatment should not exceed 6 months.
If patients have been unable to lose weight after 12 weeks of
treatment with alli, they should consult
their doctor or a pharmacist. It may be necessary to discontinue
treatment.

as orlistat is minimally absorbed,
no dose adjustment is necessary in the elderly.
