Megaburn 120 is a prescription anti-obesity medication containing 120 mg of orlistat, a lipase inhibitor manufactured by Leeford Healthcare Ltd. Designed to aid weight loss in adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 28 or higher, it works by blocking the action of lipase enzymes in the stomach and small intestine, preventing approximately 30% of dietary fat from being absorbed. Unabsorbed fat is excreted through feces, reducing calorie intake and supporting weight loss when combined with a low-calorie, low-fat diet and regular exercise. Megaburn 120 is particularly beneficial for overweight individuals with conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol, helping to reduce health risks associated with obesity. Medical supervision is essential due to potential interactions and side effects, and it is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, children under 18, or those with certain medical conditions.
