What is Xenical?

Xenical blocks some of the fat that you eat, keeping it from being absorbed by your body and prevents gastric and pancreatic lipases from breaking down fats. Therefore the fats that are eaten cannot be absorbed by the body. Xenical is taken at mealtimes to prevent fat eaten in the meals from being absorbed. This means the body cannot use this dietary fat as a source of energy, or convert it to fat tissue. In this way you can achieve your weight loss goals easily.

Xenical is used together with a reduced-calorie diet and weight maintenance to treat obesity in people with certain risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol or triglycerides.

How to take Xenical?

Xenical is used as part of a complete program of treatment that also includes diet, exercise, and weight control. The fat content of your daily diet should not be greater than 30% of your total daily caloric intake. For example, if you eat 1200 calories per day, no more than 360 of those calories should be in the form of fat.

Take Xenical with a full glass of water. Take Xenical during or within 1 hour after a meal that contains some fat (no more than 30% of the calories for that meal). If you skip a meal or you eat a meal that does not contain any fat, skip your Xenical dose for that meal.

What to do if you skip a meal?

If you skip a meal or you eat a meal that does not contain any fat, skip your Xenical dose for that meal. The fat content of your daily diet should not be greater than 30% of your total daily caloric intake. Avoid a diet that is high in fat. High-fat meals taken in combination with Xenical can increase your risk of unpleasant side effects on your stomach or intestines.

Who should not take Xenical?

Do not take Xenical if you are allergic to orlistat, or if you have gallbladder problems, or chronic malabsorption syndrome (an inability to absorb food and nutrients properly). You should tell your Doctor if you have an underactive thyrhoid or kidney stones, diabetes and eating disorders. You should also tell your Doctor if you are on some other weight loss medication.

Xenical is not recommended for anyone under 18 years.
