Xenical®
Uses
Xenical is a prescription weight-control 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. Xenical 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.
How To Take This Medication
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 Xenical medicine should be swallowed with
water.
Side Effects
Loose stools and increased gas or flatulence. These symptoms are generally
mild, occur at the beginning of Xenical 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
Xenical treatment and keep to your recommended diet.
Precautions
Xenical 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.
Notes
CONTRA-INDICATIONS Allergy to Xenical® or chronic malabsorption syndromes
such as sprue or steatorrhea. Xenical® is not intended to be used in children
or pregnant and nursing women.
