Orlistat blocks dietary fat digestion and absorption, which reduces absorption of fat-soluble nutrients including beta carotene. Long-term use may lower circulating carotenoid levels.
O que esta interação significa em palavras simples
Beta carotene and Orlistat can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.
