Weight loss - Xenical

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 DRUG INFO

IMPORTANT NOTE: The following information is intended to supplement, not substitute for, the expertise and judgment of your physician, pharmacist or other healthcare professional. It should not be construed to indicate that use of the drug is safe, appropriate, or effective for you. Consult your healthcare professional before using this drug.

ORLISTAT - ORAL (OR-lih-stat)

COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Xenical

USES: This medication is used with a reduced-calorie diet to help significantly overweight persons lose weight. It also helps to prevent regaining weight previously lost. Orlistat works by blocking some of the fat normally digested by the intestine.

HOW TO USE: Take this drug by mouth, generally three times daily during (or up to one hour after) each main meal that contains fat. Your daily intake of fat, protein and carbohydrate should be evenly spread over three main meals. If a meal is occasionally missed or contains no fat, skip that dose of the medication. Because this drug can interfere with absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (e.g., A,D,E,K), a daily multivitamin supplement containing these nutrients is recommended. Take the multivitamin at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after this drug (e.g., at bedtime). The effects of this drug may begin as soon as 1-2 days after treatment begins; noticeable weight loss will take longer.

SIDE EFFECTS: Fatty/oily stool, oily spotting, intestinal gas with discharge, bowel movement urgency, poor bowel control, or headaches may occur. If these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly. Intestinal side effects (e.g., oily stool) may increase in intensity if you exceed your daily dietary fat allowance. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

PRECAUTIONS: Tell your doctor your medical history, including: allergies, digestive disorders (malabsorption or cholestasis), low thyroid function (hypothyroidism), other metabolism problems (e.g., oxalate kidney stones, hyperoxaluria). This drug should not be used if you have anorexia nervosa or bulimia-type eating disorders. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant before using this medication. The manufacturer does not recommend use of this drug during pregnancy. It is not known whether this drug is excreted into breast milk. Because of the potential risk to the infant, breast-feeding while using this drug is not recommended. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.

DRUG INTERACTIONS: Tell your doctor of all prescription and nonprescription medication you use, especially of: cyclosporine, "blood thinners" (e.g., warfarin), drugs for diabetes (e.g., insulin), other drugs used for weight loss. Cyclosporine should be taken at least 2 hours before or after orlistat to assure maximum absorption of the cyclosporine into your bloodstream. Do not start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist approval.

OVERDOSE: If overdose is suspected, contact your local poison control center or emergency room immediately.

NOTES: Do not share this medication with others. Follow your doctor-approved nutritional, reduced-calorie diet containing about 30 percent calories from fat. Also, exercise is recommended; however, first consult your doctor or pharmacist.

MISSED DOSE: If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.

STORAGE: Store at room temperature (77 degrees F, 25 degrees C) away from light and moisture.

Xenical Information & FAQs on Xenical, the Weight Loss Diet Pill

Xenical is an oral weight loss treatment for those who are at least 20 pounds overweight. Xenical significantly reduces weight and can be used in weight management as well.

How does Xenical work?

Unlike other weight loss treatments that affect the body's metabolism, Xenical works by blocking lipase enzymes in the body that convert fat into fat tissue. Xenical can prevent one third of all fat intake to go undigested. The undigested fat is then flushed naturally from the body. For best weight loss results, Xenical should be accompanied by a low fat diet and exercise plan.

The best weight loss results are achieved when Xenical is taken in combination with an exercise and fat reduced diet plan. Xenical is taken before each meal (3 times daily). Your fat intake should be split up evenly between your meals for best weight loss results. In clinical studies, Xenical increased weight loss than with diet and exercise alone. People taking Xenical have not only improved weight loss, but also improved conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol levels with regular Xenical use.

Who should taken Xenical?

Only people who suffer from obesity (a BMI of 30 or more), who are overweight (a BMI of 25 to 30) or have or at risk of weight related health problems, such as high blood pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol, should take Xenical.

How fast will I lose weight?

Weight loss begins immediate. From the first dosage of Xenical, you're cutting the amount of digested fat by one third. In clinical studies, the average weight loss was 10% of initial body weight within 6-8 months.

How should Xenical be taken?

One 120mg pill of Xenical should be taken with each meal (3 times daily). Xenical can be taken with a meal or up to one hour after the meal is consumed. You should spread your fat intake evenly between your daily meals for best results.

Does Xenical have side effects?

The most common side effects of Xenical are increased frequency of bowel movements, flatulence with discharge and oily / loose stools. The frequency of these side effects is directly related to the amount of fat intake in your diet.

Who should not take Xenical?

The following people should not take Xenical:

People who are not obese or overweight by at least 20 pounds

People with a BMI of less than 25

Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding

Children under the age of 18

People who are allergic to orlistat or any other substance contained within Xenical capsules
