Beacita is used for weight loss in adults 18 years and older, who are overweight and have a BMI ( body mass index ) of 28 or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beacita should be used with a low-calorie, low-fat diet.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BMI is a way to find out if you have a healthy weight or if you are overweight for your height. Using the table below, you can find out if you are overweight and if you can use Beacita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Find your height in the table. If you weigh less than the weight indicated for your height, do not take Beacita. The risk of being overweight<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Being overweight increases the risk of developing serious health problems such as diabetes and heart disease. These conditions may not make you feel bad, so you should have a general health check-up with a doctor. How Beacita works<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The active ingredient (orlistat) in Beacita is designed to target the fat in the digestive system. It prevents about a quarter of the fat in a meal from being absorbed by the body. This fat disappears from the body with the stool. You may experience diet-related treatment effects (see section 4). It is therefore important that you eat a low-fat diet to deal with these effects. If you do, the capsules will help you lose more weight compared to a diet program alone. For every 2 kg that you lose from diet alone, Beacita can make you lose another 1 kg. Orlistat contained in Beacita may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this leaflet. Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or other healthcare professionals if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Beacita<\/p>\n\n\n\n This medicine must not be taken by children and adolescents under 18 years of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beacita may affect some medicines that you have to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines. Do not take Beacita with these medicines<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Birth control pills and Beacita<\/strong> Multivitamins and Beacita<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Talk to your doctor before taking Beacita if you are taking<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Talk to your doctor or pharmacist when taking Beacita<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Beacita should be used with a low-calorie, low-fat diet. Try to start with such a diet before starting treatment. For more information on determining your calorie and fat goals, see Other Useful Information<\/em> in Section 6. Beacita can be taken just before, during, or up to 1 hour after meals. This usually means 1 capsule at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The capsule should be swallowed with water. If you skip a meal, or if the meal does not contain any fat, do not take any capsule. Beacita does not work if there is not a little fat in the meal. Do not take more than the recommended dose even if you eat a high-fat meal. Taking the capsule with a high-fat meal increases the risk of diet-related effects (see section 4). Always try to avoid high-fat meals when taking Beacita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not take Beacita if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beacita is unlikely to affect your ability to drive or use machines. You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened attention. One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or side effects. Descriptions of these effects and side effects can be found in other sections. Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. Plan your weight loss<\/em><\/strong> Select start date<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Decide in advance which day you will start taking the capsules. Before you start taking the capsules, start with your low-calorie, low-fat diet, and allow your body to adapt to your new eating habits for a few days. Write down what you eat in a food diary. Food diaries are effective because you become aware of what you are eating and how much you are eating and give yourself something to start from when you make changes. Set a goal for your weight loss<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Think about how much you want to lose weight and then set a target weight. A realistic goal is to reduce by between 5% and 10% of your starting weight. Weight loss may vary from week to week. You should strive for a gradual, stable weight loss of about 0.5 kg per week. Set goals for calories and fat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To help you reach your weight loss goal, you need to set two daily goals, one for calories and one for fat. Read more on the blue pages under section 6, Other useful information.<\/em> Using Beacita<\/strong> Adults, 18 years and older<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Eat low-fat meals to reduce the risk of diet-related treatment effects (see section 4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Try to become more physically active before you start taking the capsules. Physical activity is an important part of a weight loss program. Remember to check with your doctor first, if you have not exercised before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep exercising when you take Beacita and when you stop taking it. How long should I take Beacita?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not take more than 3 capsules a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you forget to take a capsule:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like all medicines, Beacita can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most of the common side effects with Beacita (for example, gases with or without oily secretions, sudden or frequent bowel movements, and soft stools) are caused by the way the medicine works (see section 1). You can manage these diet-related effects by eating low-fat meals. Serious side effects are<\/strong> (It is not known how frequently these side effects are occurring) Severe allergic reactions<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Stop taking the capsules. Seek medical attention immediately. Other serious side effects are<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Stop taking the capsules. Tell your doctor if you get any of these side effects. Other side effects are<\/strong> Very common side effect is<\/em> (can occur in more than 1 in 10)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor or pharmacist if any of these side effects get worse or worse. Common side effects are<\/em> (may affect up to 1 in 10)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor or pharmacist if any of these side effects get worse or worse. Effects were seen in blood tests <\/strong>(it is not known how often these side effects occur)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor that you are taking Beacita when you leave a blood test. Learn how to manage diet-related treatment effects<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The most common side effects are caused by the way the capsules work and are due to some of the fast disappearing from the body. Such effects usually occur during the first few weeks of using the capsules, before you may have learned to limit the amount of fat in your diet. Such diet-related treatment effects can be a signal that you have eaten more fat than you should. You can learn to minimize the impact of diet-related treatment effects by following the advice below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reporting of side effects<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.
