About Obesave Tablet

Obesity is a common condition associated with excessive body fat which in turn increases the risk of other health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, certain cancers and heart disease. Intake of more calories than you burn by exercise or daily activities results in obesity.

Obesave Tablet contains Cetilistat that decreases the absorption and digestion of fat from the food you eat.

Uses of Obesave Tablet

Treatment of Obesity

Medicinal Benefits

Obesave Tablet contains Cetilistat, an anti-obesity drug used to treat obesity and help in weight loss. Obesave Tablet works in the small intestine and stomach and prevents the action of enzymes that breakdown fat which is absorbed by the body. Cetilistat inhibits pancreatic lipase, an enzyme necessary for the digestion of fats, and thus decreases the absorption of fat from the food you eat. Hence, fat passes through the gut and is excreted in the faeces, making the body unable to use fat as a source of energy or convert it into fat tissue. Thereby, Obesave Tablet helps in weight loss and reduces the risk of serious health problems.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Invest in a balanced diet. Do not starve yourself. Make sure you eat lean, clean, and small meals. Eat more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean meats, and low-dairy fat products.
  • Drinking plenty of water makes you feel full and helps you avoid food.
  • Some people tend to eat more when they are happy, some when they are sad or feeling low. Maintaining a food diary can help you identify your food patterns.
  • Avoid distractions while eating. Meals are supposed to be had at the dining table. Having your dinner or lunch in front of the TV, can distract you and get you to consume more.

  • Taking the stairs instead of the elevator can also prove helpful in losing weight.
  • Sometimes, eating more can be due to a psychological factor or an eating disorder. Make sure you see a psychologist to understand your eating habits better.
  • A lot of people benefit from joining a support group for obesity. Find people who you can identify with and speak openly about your struggles.
  • Always remember, your weight does not define you. Maintain a healthy body image and be a friend to yourself.
