Slimtop 120 mg Capsule
Product Description
Slimtop 120 Capsule contains Orlistat 120 mg, a gastrointestinal lipase inhibitor used for weight management in overweight and obese adults. It works by reducing the absorption of dietary fat, helping patients achieve and maintain weight loss when combined with a calorie-controlled diet and regular physical activity.
Composition
Active Ingredient: Orlistat
Strength: 120 mg
