Uses
Xenical
(Orlistat) is a prescription weight-control medication
useful for the long-term treatment of significant obesity. Xenical
(Orlistat) 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
(Orlistat) 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
(Orlistat) 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 (Orlistat)
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. Allergy to Xenical (Orlistat)
or chronic malabsorption syndromes such as sprue or steatorrhea
may develop.
Precautions
Xenical
(Orlistat) 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. Xenical
(Orlistat) is not intended to be used in children or pregnant
and nursing women.
