HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Cetilistat acts by preventing the absorption of fat.
Weight reduction from 82 kg to 76 kg would be a loss of 6 kg.
The studies of this medication indicate that the weight loss varies somewhat with the dose used.
In these studies, a weight loss of 3 kg to 5 kg (varied with different doses) was achieved over a 12 week period.
This means that it may take approximately 12 - 20 weeks for you to achieve your goal.
I hope this helps
