Xenical
Uses:
XENICAL is a prescription weight-control medication useful for the long-term
treatment of significant obesity. XENICAL 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 is a weight loss medication
that targets the absorption of fat in your body rather than suppressing
your appetite. It 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 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 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 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 treatment and
keep to your recommended diet.
Precautions:
This medicine 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.

CONTRA-INDICATIONS Allergy to Xenical or chronic malabsorption syndromes
such as sprue or steatorrhea. XENICAL is not intended to be used in children
or pregnant and nursing women.
