REDUCID 20 mg is a prescription medication primarily used for the management of obesity. It contains the active ingredient orlistat, which works by inhibiting the absorption of dietary fats in the intestines, thereby reducing the number of calories absorbed from food. By decreasing fat absorption, REDUCID 20 mg can help in weight loss when combined with a low-calorie diet and regular exercise. It is typically prescribed for individuals who are overweight or obese and have weight-related health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. As with any medication, it should be used under the supervision of a healthcare provider, as it may cause side effects, including gastrointestinal issues.
