Product Name: Xenical
Drug Name: Orlistat
Packaging Type: Packets of 84 Capsules
Manufacturer: Roche
Use: This is a medication to help people who are serious about losing weight for their health to reduce problems such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease and diabetes. Rather than working on suppressing your appetite, Xenical works on reducing the fat absorbed into the body, and is successful when used in conjunction with a calorie controlled diet.
How to take it: The recommended dose is one capsule by mouth with liquid at each main meal. You should use Xenical together with a nutritionally balanced, mildly reduced-calorie diet that contains no more than about 30 percent of calories from fat.
Side effects: Side effects generally occur within the first few weeks of treatment but tend to subside later in the treatment phase. These may include oily spotting, gas with discharge, oily or fatty stools and increased number of bowel movements. These bowel changes are a natural effect of blocking the fat from being absorbed and indicate that Xenical is working. They generally occur early in treatment, particularly after meals containing higher amounts of fat than are recommended.
Precautions: People should not use this medication if they consistently have problems absorbing food (chronic malabsorption); or have gallbladder problems; or are pregnant or are breastfeeding a child; or have ever had an allergic reaction to orlistat or any of the inactive ingredients in Xenical. Xenical must be used in conjunction with a recommended mildly reduced-calorie diet. You should also follow a program of regular physical activity, such as walking. However, before you undertake any activity or exercise program, be sure to speak with your doctor or health care professional.
