Xenical is a weight-loss
medication useful for the long-term treatment of significant obesity.
Xenical can also help to improve risk factors, such as high blood
pressure, high cholesterol and high blood sugar which, if not treated,
could lead to other diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. Each
Xenical capsule contains 120 mg of the active substance orlistat,
which acts as a lipase inhibitor. Xenical is a weight loss medication
that targets the absorption of fat in your body rather than suppressing
your appetite. It is useful for long term use and has been shown to
be effective for 1-2 years. Dietary fats are inhibited from being
absorbed and this allows about 30% of the fat eaten in the meal to
pass through the gut undigested. This helps you to reduce and maintain
your weight, as well as to minimize any weight regain.

Xenical is taken with each meal (three times
daily). Your daily fat intake should be divided equally between these
three meals so you will benefit from Xenical's actions. Your medicine
should be swallowed with water.

Loose stools and increased gas or flatulence.
These symptoms are generally mild, occur at the beginning of treatment,
go away after a short period of time and are particularly experienced
after meals containing high levels of fat. Normally, these symptoms
disappear if you continue treatment and keep to your recommended diet. |

This medicine can cause changes in your bowel
habits, such as fatty or oily stools, due to the elimination of undigested
fat in your stool. XENICAL® reduces the absorption of supplements
of some fat soluble nutrients, particularly beta-carotene and vitamin
E. You should therefore follow your doctor's advice in taking a well
balanced diet rich in fruit and vegetables. |
