Orlistat is a potent gastrointestinal lipase inhibitor used globally as an anti-obesity API. It reduces dietary fat absorption by inhibiting pancreatic and gastric lipases, preventing triglycerides from being hydrolyzed into absorbable free fatty acids. With proven clinical efficacy and favorable safety profile, Orlistat is widely used in prescription and OTC weight-management formulations.
Orlistat acts locally within the gastrointestinal tract by: Binding to gastric and pancreatic lipases; Preventing hydrolysis of dietary triglycerides; Reducing fat absorption by ~30% at therapeutic doses; Lowering total caloric intake. This results in measurable reductions in body weight, waist circumference, LDL cholesterol, and improve metabolic parameters.
