Kilfat, Cetilistat

Kilfat is used in the treatment of combating obesity

Kilfat works to help with weight and obesity and it is used in combination with a low calorie diet. Kilfat works by blocking a amount of fat from being digested and absorbed into the body. Kilfat is known as a lipase inhibitor and it works directly on the digestive system where it blocks the action of a lipolytic enzyme called lipase. These lipases are what the body uses to digest the fat.Kilfat is administered with every meal, it binds to the lipases, thereby inhibiting them from breaking down the fat.Fats which are not hydrolyzed are instead excreted in the feces, resulting in increased fecal fat excretion and reduced fat absorption. When used together with a reduced calorie diet and exercise, it can help improve weight loss and make it easier for overweight patients to get back in shape, thereby increasing the chances of successful weight loss.
