Description

Reeshape 120 MG Capsule is a medicine used to treat obesity, which is a medical problem involving an excessive amount of body fat. Being obese may increase your risk of developing other health problems, including diabetes and high blood pressure. Reeshape 120 MG Capsule helps in reducing body weight by blocking the action of enzymes in your gut that digest fat in the diet. This prevents the fat from being absorbed into the body and allows the undigested fat to pass out of the body via the faeces. Reeshape 120 MG Capsule can cause side effects like headache, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, increased number of bowel movements, oily or fatty stools, loose stools, etc. Consult your doctor if these side effects persist or worsen. Avoid taking this medicine if you are allergic to it. Reeshape 120 MG Capsule should be taken with food or within one hour of completing the meal. The dose and duration of treatment will be determined by your doctor based on the severity of your condition. Avoid taking more or less than the recommended dose. Do not stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor. Follow a strict diet and exercise regime for better results. Reeshape 120 MG Capsule is not recommended if you have any disorder causing malabsorption (poor absorption of nutrients from the intestine) or have cholestasis (a liver problem in which the flow of bile from the liver is slowed or blocked). Inform your doctor about your current medications and pre-existing medical conditions before taking this medicine. This will help your doctor adjust the dose to avoid side effects. Also, consult your doctor if you are pregnant or are breastfeeding before taking this medicine.
