Epitomee® is indicated to aid weight management in adults with excess weight or obesity. When taken with water, Epitomee® releases compartments filled with gel particles that form a triangular shape in the stomach. The particles absorb water, and the compartments swell. This helps one feel full sooner and eat less. The Epitomee® capsule's action is purely mechanical and does not involve any chemical activity.
An orally-administered device intended to facilitate weight loss and treat obesity through appetite control. It is designed to be swallowed before meals to form a viscous gel in the stomach and/or small intestine to increase distention, creating the sensation of fullness and causing the user to eat less. It may additionally slow down intestinal glucose absorption to improve glycaemic control. It typically includes natural or modified fibre which expands after absorbing water; it is available in tablet, capsule, and powder sachet forms. This is a single-use device.
