Xenical
Xenical Uses
Xenical is a weight loss medicine that is used to treat obesity. Xenical does not suppress appetite, but inhibits the absorption of fat in the stomach
Xenical Directions
One capsule (120milligrams) is taken three times daily with each main meal - up two hours after eating. Taking a capsule with each meal is convenient and easy to remember.
Xenical Side Effects
Xenical has none of the side effects normally associated with diet medications that act on the brain. XENICAL's side effects are strictly gastrointestinal in nature and related to its action of blocking the digestion of ingested fat. The fat that is not absorbed into the bloodstream remains in the intestine and becomes mixed with the stool. The increased fat in the stool can cause any of the following :
- gas (flatulence) - sometimes with oily spotting
- increased frequency of bowel movements
- fatty/ oily stool
How often or how quickly these effects occur will vary from person to person and will depend on how much extra fat was consumed. They can occur within hours after eating a meal or up to a day or two later. These side effects usually occur early in treatment, last for only a short period, and disappear over time. Importantly, you can control the effects if you control your fat intake. Remember: it's not the XENICAL, it's the fat you eat that causes the events.
Xenical Interactions
Clinical studies have shown that Xenical does not interact with commonly used medications. However, before starting Xenical it is essential that you tell us on your medical history/personal profile of any and all medications (prescription and non-prescription) that you are currently taking.
