Generic Xenical (Orlistat) |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Xenical blocks some of the fat that you eat, keeping it from being absorbed by your body.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). Xenical may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide. |
Who can use Xenical? Xenical is a very serious weight loss supplement and therefore,
is only available for those that have a Body Mass Index (BMI)
of 30 or over. While this does make it an unsuitable supplement
for those who have a BMI that is lower than 30, it does make it
a nice alternative if you are overweight but can’t take
other supplements because they have dangerous side effects that
are more common when conditions such as hypertension (high blood
pressure) or diabetes are present. You can calculate your BMI
by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in meters
squared. Xenical is taken 3 times a day, during or after mealtimes, as
long as it is taken within 1 hour after eating. If you don’t
eat a meal or enjoy a low-fat meal, the pill does not need to
be taken. The ingredients in Xenical are known to be a major contributor
to the breakdown of certain vitamins and amino acids so you are
advised to also take a multi-vitamin while using the drug, at
least 2 hours before or after taking Xenical. Xenical comes with many side effects with the most common concerns focusing on the gastrointestinal system. These symptoms include: * spotting that looks oily in appearance Although these are the most common symptoms, there are others that have varying degrees of intensity as well as a varying degree of occurrence. These symptoms are many so the chances that you will experience at least some while taking Xenical are very good. These symptoms are: * abdominal pain and/or cramping Although the list of possible side effects is extensive and so you’re likely to experience at least one while using Xenical, the symptoms are most present during the first year of use and then seem to taper off. In some instances, the side effects of Xenical were known to disappear completely in some cases.

| XENICAL At Work If you eat an excessive amount of fat or calories, the excess is stored as fat by the body, resulting in weight gain. When you eat fat, your body breaks it down into its simplest components so that it can be digested. Unlike other weight-loss drugs you may have heard about that act in the brain or central nervous system to suppress appetite or to speed up metabolism, XENICAL works in your digestive system to block about one-third of the fat in the food you eat from being digested. Enzymes in your digestive system, called lipases, help digest (or break down) fat. When taken with meals, XENICAL attaches to the lipases and blocks them from breaking down some of the fat you have eaten. The undigested fat cannot be absorbed and is eliminated in your bowel movements. By working this way, XENICAL helps block about one-third of the fat in the foods you eat from being absorbed by your body. |
