OrliFord pills are manufactured by Banford.
OrliFord is recommended to control obesity in patients with the BMI greater or equal to 30 kg/m² (or with BMI greater or equal to 28 kg/m² with associated risk factors).
The active ingredient of OrliFord is Orlistat – a gastrointestinal lipase inhibitor that acts by inhibiting the absorption of fats and eliminating them from the body with the stools.
Losing weight with OrliFord and keeping it off can lessen the many health risks that come with obesity, including heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and a shorter life.
Taking OrliFord also keeps patients from gaining weight back after prior weight loss.
