Andanza, also known as Andanza Medix, is a medical drug designed to combat overweight and obesity. It is manufactured by Medix and is widely distributed in Latin American countries, including Mexico.
What is Andanza orlistat for?
Pastillas Andanza 120 mg contain the active ingredient orlistat, which helps you lose weight by blocking the absorption of fats from the food you consume. Thus, the drug does not allow fats to be digested in the body and promotes their natural excretion.
Andanza tablets are taken by adults to treat obesity in combination with a low-calorie diet and increased physical activity. The recommended dosage is 120 mg (one tablet) three times daily during or up to one hour after each fat-containing meal.
Contraindications
Firstly, the use of Andanza is contraindicated in the following cases:
- Hypersensitivity to orlistat or other components of the drug.
- Malabsorption syndrome, a condition in which the absorption of nutrients in the intestine is impaired.
- Cholestasis, a disease associated with impaired bile outflow.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding period, as the safety of orlistat use during these periods has not been established.
- Patients under 18 years of age, as there is insufficient data on safety and efficacy of the drug in this age group.
Side effects
Side effects associated with taking Andanza are most commonly caused by its action in the gastrointestinal tract and are related to the removal of undigested fats from the body. The most common side effects include:
- Fatty or oily discharge from the rectum.
- Greasy or oily stools.
- Frequent defecation.
- They need to empty their bowels urgently.
- Gas with ejection of intestinal contents.
- Animal colic and abdominal pain.
Other side effects such as headaches, anxiety, fatigue, menstrual irregularities, and rare cases of hypersensitivity including rash, itching, shortness of breath, and severe allergic reactions are also possible.
Andanza pastillas precio may vary by pharmacy and region. In Mexico, the drug is available for purchase both in regular pharmacies and online. When buying online, make sure it is done through reliable and licensed sources.
Drug Interactions
- Hypoglycemic drugs: Andanza may affect blood glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, which will require dosage adjustment of hypoglycemic agents.
- Cholesterol-lowering drugs: Orlistat may affect the effectiveness of some statins, requiring monitoring of blood lipid levels and possible dosage adjustment of statins.
- Drugs affecting blood coagulation: Pastillas Andanza 120 mg may interact with anticoagulants such as warfarin, which will require careful monitoring of coagulation parameters and adjustment of anticoagulant dose.
- Drugs containing cyclosporine: It is known that orlistat may decrease the plasma concentration of cyclosporine, which requires separate administration of these drugs and monitoring of cyclosporine levels in the blood.
- HIV medications: Orlistat may affect the absorption of antiretroviral drugs, which requires careful monitoring of the therapeutic efficacy of HIV treatment.
- Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K): Andanza 120 mg tablets may decrease the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, which may lead to deficiencies. It is recommended to take multivitamin supplements containing these vitamins two hours before or after taking Andanza, preferably at bedtime.
- Beta-carotene and omega-3 fatty acids: Absorption and bioavailability of these substances may also be reduced when co-administered with orlistat, which requires adjustment of their intake.
Therapeutic effect and half-life
The effects of Andanza usually begin to show within the first few weeks of regular intake. Full effectiveness is achieved with diet and regular exercise. The half life of orlistat, the active ingredient in Andanza, is approximately 1 -2 hours after ingestion, but its fat-blocking action may last longer because it acts directly in the gastrointestinal tract.
The effectiveness of Andanza 120 mg tablets as a weight loss aid may vary from person to person, depending on individual metabolism and adherence to a diet and exercise program. Some studies show that when combined with diet and exercise, Andanza may help lose more weight than diet and exercise alone.
It is important to note that pastillas Andanza is not a miracle remedy for weight loss. Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight requires a comprehensive approach that includes a healthy diet, regular exercise and lifestyle changes. Before starting any weight loss product, including Andanza medix, it is important to consult with a physician to discuss the potential risks and benefits and to determine if the product is appropriate for your particular case.
It can be noted that Andanza pills are one of the tools in a comprehensive approach to weight loss. They can be effective for some people when used correctly and following healthy lifestyle recommendations.
However, it is important to understand how body fat loss works in order to evaluate the effectiveness of Andanza in eliminating fat from specific areas of the body. Weight loss under the influence of orlistat, like any other weight loss product, occurs evenly throughout the body. The body does not choose where to remove fat from first; it depends on individual genetic characteristics and the overall structure of the human body.
Thus, Andanza Medix cannot target fat from specific areas of the body, be it the abdomen, thighs, arms, or other areas. Reducing the overall percentage of body fat will lead to a reduction in volume overall, but the order in which this will happen cannot be determined.
For more effective body modeling and volume reduction in specific areas, it is recommended to combine Andanza intake with proper diet and regular exercise. Exercises aimed at specific muscle groups will help to strengthen them and make them more pronounced, but will not remove fat from these areas. A comprehensive approach, including diet, exercise and, if necessary, medications, is the most effective way to achieve the desired results in changing body composition.
It is also worth bearing in mind that any changes to your diet and exercise regime should be discussed with a qualified professional, such as a nutritionist or trainer, to ensure that the chosen course of action is safe and effective. Remember that healthy and sustainable weight loss takes time and effort, and there is no 'magic pill' that can provide instant results.
