Xenical is a weight loss medication that works by preventing your body from absorbing certain vitamins and minerals. These include vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as beta-carotene, which is a key antioxidant and is known to protect your teeth and bones.
Xenical (orlistat) is a prescription medication that helps reduce the amount of fat in your body. It is commonly prescribed to people who have obesity or a type of obesity, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease. It is also often used to prevent heart attacks and stroke. Xenical is often combined with other weight-loss medications to help you lose weight and keep it off.
Xenical works by blocking the absorption of certain vitamins and minerals in your body. This helps block some of the fat you eat from being absorbed and stored. When taken alongside a healthy diet and lifestyle, Xenical can help to lower your body’s overall calorie intake, making it easier to burn calories. It can also be used as part of a weight management plan to help you reduce your risk of developing obesity.
Xenical comes in three dosages: 1-2 capsules a day for a short period of time, or 2-4 capsules a day for a long period of time. The recommended dose for adults is usually 50 mg per day, but some patients may need to take an additional 120 mg daily.
If Xenical is prescribed to you, it is important to follow the prescribed dosage and not to exceed the recommended dose. Xenical should be taken as prescribed by a doctor. It is also important to follow the recommended dosage and not to skip doses or stop taking the medication without talking to your doctor first.
While Xenical is effective for weight loss, it can also cause certain side effects. These are common and can include low blood pressure, headaches, and weight loss. If you experience any of these side effects while taking Xenical, speak to your doctor. They can help you to make a more informed decision about whether or not to take Xenical.

Dietary fats are large molecules that need to be broken down before they can be absorbed into the body. They are broken down by enzymes called lipases. That is, lipases play an important role in the digestion of dietary fat. When taken with a meal, Xenical interferes with the activity of these enzymes. This allows about 30% of the fat eaten in the meal 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 helps you to reduce your weight by burning up fat that you are already carrying, maintain your lower weight and minimise any weight regain. Losing even small amounts of weight and keeping it off produces additional health benefits for you, especially when you are at risk for other diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. Xenical can also help to improve risk factors, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high blood sugar. If these are not treated, they could lead to other diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. Xenical should be taken in conjunction with a well-balanced calorie-controlled diet and other appropriate measures such as exercise.Active Ingredients:Xenical does not contain sucrose, gluten, tartrazine or any other azo dyes.
