PLENITY
Description
Oral capsule that helps with weight loss.
Taken with water twice a day, before lunch and dinner. It acts in the stomach to promote a feeling of fullness, helping you eat less during the day. Plenity is made of 2 ingredients of natural origin, cellulose and citric acid. When taken with water, Plenity capsules release gel particles in the stomach. The particles absorb water and mix with food, promoting and bringing forward the feeling of satiety. This helps reduce food intake. Plenity passes through the digestive tract and breaks down in the colon. The water is released from the Plenity particles and reabsorbed by the body. The particles are finally expelled through normal bowel movements (they are therefore not absorbed).
Plenity comes in pods. Each pod contains a single dose of 3 capsules, to be taken with water before lunch and dinner.
Combined with a healthy diet and exercise, Plenity can help with weight loss.
Directions for use
Plenity must be taken with water twice a day, 20 to 30 minutes before lunch and 20 to 30 minutes before dinner. Each dose consists of 3 Plenity capsules, supplied in a single pod.
1. Check that the capsules are not broken, crushed or damaged. (Discard any damaged capsules.)
2. Swallow the 3 capsules, one at a time, with water.
3. After swallowing the capsules, drink another 2 glasses of water (250 ml each).
4. After taking Plenity, wait 20 to 30 minutes before starting your meal.
If you forget to take the dose before the meal, take Plenity during or immediately after the meal.
On an empty stomach, Plenity may affect the way the body absorbs medicines. This could cause some medicines not to work properly. If you take any medicines, including those without a prescription, inform your doctor or pharmacist before starting treatment with Plenity. While using Plenity, do not start, stop or change the dosage of any other medicine without the approval of your doctor or pharmacist.
Warnings
Plenity must not be used by pregnant women or by people with allergic reactions to cellulose, citric acid, sodium stearyl fumarate, porcine gelatin or titanium dioxide.
Contact a doctor immediately if you have any problems. In case of a severe allergic reaction, severe stomach pain or severe diarrhoea, stop using Plenity until you can consult a doctor.
If you have a medical condition that makes swallowing difficult, you may have difficulty swallowing Plenity.
- Use Plenity with caution if:
• you suffer from oesophageal problems, including oesophageal webs or rings;
• you suffer from diverticula;
• you are likely to have strictures (a narrowing of the intestine, as in some patients with Crohn's disease);
&bulls; you have had gastrointestinal surgery with complications (for example, obstruction and/or adhesive peritonitis or known abdominal adhesions);
• you have active gastrointestinal disorders such as gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), ulcers or heartburn.
Do not use Plenity if the pod or pack is damaged.
Do not take capsules that are broken, crushed or damaged. Discard those capsules.
Plenity is not a meal replacement. It is not absorbed by the body and therefore has no nutritional value.
Plenity must be taken as directed. Failure to follow the dietary and exercise recommendations may result in no weight loss.
Storage
Pods must be kept closed and stored at room temperature between 5° and 30 °C (41° and 86°F).
Plenity must be kept in its original pod until use.
