Xenical helps you to achieve
weight loss without suppressing your appetite. It is one of the most successfull
treatment for weight loss.
Xenical promotes weight loss, weight management and maintenance and reduction
in weight regain and to improve obesity related disease factors when compared
to diet alone.
How it works
Xenical helps you to achieve weight loss without suppressing your appetite. It is one of the most successful treatment for weight loss.
When you take Xenical with meals, Xenical attaches to the lipases and blocks them from breaking down some of the fat you have eaten. Xenical reduced the body's ability to absorb fat by approximately 30 percent. While fat is an important component of a balanced diet, the consumption of excess fat in your daily diet, contributes to body weight. In most cases, weight loss is gradual. Obese patients treated with Xenical and a reduced-calorie diet for one year lost an average of 13.4 pounds while those on a reduced calorie diet alone, lost 5.8 pounds.
Dosages
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. It is packed in packets of 84 tabs.
Supplements
Xenical interferes with your body's absorption of some fat-soluble vitamins.
Therefore, Xenical should be taken in conjunction with a daily multivitamin
supplement containing vitamins D, E, K, and beta-carotene. These should
be taken 2 hours either side of taking Xenical.
Side effects
Since Xenical interferes with the absorption of fat, changes in bowel
habits may be evident. 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.
