Cetislim 60Mg Tablet is a lipase inhibitor and works by binding to and blocking the action of the enzyme lipase. This prevents the fat (triglycerides) in food from being metabolised and turned into free fatty acids that can be absorbed by the body.
Instead, the un-metabolised fat is eliminated from the body through bowel movements. Cetislim 60Mg Tablet is different from other anti-obesity drugs because instead of acting on the brain to decrease appetite, it works on the gastrointestinal tract to block fat absorption.
