Mechanism of action

Listata is an inhibitor of gastrointestinal lipases. The mechanism of action is associated with the formation of a covalent bond with the active serine portion of the gastric and pancreatic lipases in the lumen of the stomach and small intestine. The enzyme at the same time loses the ability to break down fats, coming from food in the form of triglycerides, to absorb free fatty acids and monoglycerides. As a result, the number of calories entering the body decreases and, consequently, the patient's body weight decreases.
After 24-48 hours after taking the drug, there is an increase in the concentration of fat in the fecal masses. After discontinuation of the drug, the fat concentration returns to its original level after 48-72 hours.
