Hi, welcome to HCM, Lipocut contains Orlistat that prevents absorption of fat into the body, which then passes out into stools. Side effects can be nausea, vomiting (rare) acidity, and constipation(rare). Commonest side effect is diarrhoea and this is what you have to mainly look out for. A little does not matter, but if severe, report to your doctor. Rate of loss varies from patient to patient. Up to 2Kg a month can be expected--regards
