Belivag is the trade name of a drug containing the active substance orlistat, in a dosage of 120 mg. This drug is intended for the treatment of obesity and weight management, helping to reduce the absorption of fats from food, leading to a reduction in caloric intake and gradual weight loss.
Belivag orlistat para que sirve?
Belivag pills are used in the complex therapy of obesity along with diet and exercise. It blocks the work of enzymes that break down fat in the intestines, which leads to a reduction in the amount of fat absorbed from food.
Belivag orlistat 120 mg is recommended; take one capsule (120 mg) three times daily during or up to one hour after each meal containing fat. If a meal is skipped or does not contain fat, the dose may be omitted.
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to orlistat or other components of the drug, which may manifest itself in the form of allergic reactions.
- Chronic malabsorption syndrome is a condition in which the normal absorption of nutrients from food is impaired.
- Cholestasis: A disease associated with impaired bile outflow from the liver.
- Pregnancy and lactation: Safety studies of Belivag use during these periods have not been conducted, therefore its use is contraindicated.
- Patients under 18 years of age: Data on the safety and efficacy of the drug in this age group are limited.
Side effects
Most side effects associated with taking Belivag are due to its effects on the digestive system and are related to blocking the absorption of fats from food. The most common side effects include:
- Gastrointestinal Disorders: These include oily or greasy stools, indigestion, frequent urges to defecate, and uncontrolled discharge of intestinal contents. These symptoms are most common during the initial phase of treatment and may decrease as the body adapts to the drug.
- Stomach pain and discomfort: This includes bloating, abdominal pain and discomfort, especially after eating fatty foods.
- Vitamin deficiencies: Because Belivag blocks fat absorption, it can also lead to decreased absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), which will require their supplementation in the form of vitamin complexes.
- More serious side effects, such as severe gastrointestinal upset, allergic reactions and elevated liver enzymes, are less common. If these symptoms occur, immediate medical attention should be sought.
The Belivag price may vary depending on the pharmacy and geographic location. In Mexico, the drug is available for purchase in both fixed pharmacies and online. When you buy from a Mexican online pharmacy, you save your budget significantly, and the lower price does not affect the quality of the product.

Interaction with other medicines
Interaction of Belivag with other drugs, vitamins and nutritional supplements requires a careful and responsible approach. Adherence to specialist recommendations, regular health monitoring and open communication with your doctor about all aspects of treatment are key to safe and effective weight management with Belivag.
- Hypolipidemic agents: Belivag orlistat may affect the absorption and effectiveness of drugs intended to lower blood cholesterol levels, such as statins. This may require dosage adjustments and closer monitoring of blood lipid levels.
- Antidiabetic agents: When coadministered with Belivag pills, dosage adjustments of diabetes medications may be required due to changes in body weight and improved glycemic control.
- Antidiabetic agents: When coadministered with Belivag pills, dosage adjustment of diabetes medications may be required due to changes in body weight and improved glycemic control.
- Anticoagulants: Orlistat may affect the absorption of vitamin K, which in turn may affect the efficacy of anticoagulants such as warfarin. This may require more frequent monitoring of blood clotting parameters.
- HIV medications and cyclosporine: Belivag tablets may decrease the absorption of these medications, which will require dosage adjustments and close monitoring of the patient's condition.
- Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K): Due to Belivag's mechanism of action, the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins may be impaired. It is recommended that multivitamin complexes containing these vitamins be taken two hours before or after taking Belivag to ensure adequate absorption.
- Omega-3 fatty acids and other fat supplements: Since Belivag blocks the absorption of fats, the effectiveness of such supplements may be reduced. Adjustments to their intake may be necessary.
It is also important to pay attention to the diet during treatment with Belivag orlistat, as decreased absorption of fat from food may reduce the effectiveness of fat-soluble vitamins and other nutrients.
The intake of balanced nutritional supplements and vitamin complexes, as mentioned above, should be timed with Belivag intake to maximize their absorption.
In addition to interactions with medications and supplements, the possible interaction of Belivag with alcohol should also be considered. Although there may be no direct evidence of a negative interaction between alcohol and orlistat, excessive alcohol consumption may negatively affect weight loss goals and overall health.
Half-life and therapeutic effect
The therapeutic effects of Belivag pill usually begin to appear within the first few weeks of regular use. Complete weight loss depends on individual body characteristics, diet and level of physical activity. Long-term use of the drug in combination with maintaining a healthy lifestyle may be required to maintain the achieved result.
The half-life of orlistat, the active ingredient in Belivag, is approximately 1–2 hours after ingestion. However, because its action is to block the enzymes that break down fat directly in the gastrointestinal tract, the therapeutic effect may last longer, for as long as the drug is in the digestive system.
Patients should be prepared to make lifestyle and dietary changes, as the effectiveness of Belivag is directly related to the amount of fat in the diet. Eating a high fat diet can increase the likelihood of side effects and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
So, Belivag 120 mg is an effective tool in the complex fight against overweight, but requires a responsible approach and readiness to change eating habits and lifestyle. As with any means of weight correction, it should be used under the strict supervision of a specialist, taking into account all potential risks and side effects.
