Megaburn 60 Capsule may have the following common side effects:

Oily spotting: This refers to the presence of oil on your underwear or on toilet paper when wiping.
Flatulence with discharge: You may experience gas along with oily discharge.
Faecal urgency: This is a sudden need to have a bowel movement, and it's typically urgent and uncontrollable.
Fatty or oily stools: Your faeces might appear fatty or oily due to the undigested fat.
Increased defecation: You might find yourself needing to go to the toilet more frequently than usual.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Megaburn 60 Capsule. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Oily spotting: Megaburn 60 Capsule should be taken with your main meals containing fat. This can help manage oily spotting.
Increased defecation: Consider taking this medicine at night if it leads to more frequent bowel movements during daytime hours. Consult your doctor before doing so.

Megaburn 60 Capsule contains Orlistat (60 mg) and operates in the following ways:

Inhibits Gastric and Pancreatic Lipases: Orlistat works by blocking specific enzymes in your body, known as gastric and pancreatic lipases. These enzymes usually break down fats from your food.
Reduces Dietary Fat Absorption: By blocking these enzymes, Orlistat prevents approximately 30% of dietary fats from being absorbed by your body during digestion. Instead, these undigested fats are passed out of the body through your stools.

This combination of actions helps to reduce your overall caloric intake, which contributes to weight loss when accompanied by a reduced-calorie diet and regular exercise.

Pregnancy

Megaburn 60 Capsule is not recommended during pregnancy. If you're pregnant or planning to conceive, it's crucial to consult your doctor before starting this medicine.
