Uni-Cal 120 mg Caps (30's) for Weight Loss
Uni-Cal contains Orlistat, which aids in weight loss when combined with a low-calorie, low-fat diet and exercise. Orlistat belongs to a class of medications known as lipase inhibitors. It works by preventing fat absorption in the intestines, with the unabsorbed fat being excreted in the stool. Uni-Cal should be used under medical supervision, especially in overweight individuals or those with weight-related medical conditions. It also helps prevent weight regain after losing weight.
