XenicalSecure.com Drug information

Description: Xenical is a unique medicine that assists with weight loss and can also help reduce the risk of high cholesterol levels, hypertension and diabetes. Xenical targets the absorption of fat in your body, rather than merely suppressing your appetite. Dietary fats are large molecules, which need to be broken down by enzymes before they can be absorbed into the body.

When taken with a meal, Xenical alters the activity of these enzymes and allows about one third of the fat to pass through the gut undigested. Therefore, your body cannot store these excess calories as fatty tissue or use them as a source of energy. This can help you to reduce your weight, maintain you lower weight and minimise any weight regain.

Side Effects: Adverse reactions to Xenical are largely gastrointestinal in nature and related to the pharmacologic effect of orlistat in preventing the absorption of ingested fat. Commonly observed side effects are oily spotting, flatus with discharge, fecal urgency, fatty/oily stool, oily evacuation, increased defecation and fecal incontinence. These adverse gastrointestinal reactions are generally mild and transient. In clinical trials, they occurred early in treatment (within 3 months) and most patients experienced only one episode.

Dosage & Administration: The recommended dose of Xenical is one 120 mg capsule with each main meal (during or up to one hour after the meal). If a meal is missed or contains no fat, the dose of Xenical may be omitted. The therapeutic benefits of Xenical (including weight control and improvement of risk factors) are continued with long-term administration.

The patient should be on a nutritionally balanced, mildly low-calorie diet that contains approximately 30% of calories from fat. It is recommended that the diet should be rich in fruit and vegetables. The daily intake of fat, carbohydrate and protein should be distributed over three main meals.
