Xenical

Xenical contains orlistat, a gastrointestinal lipase inhibitor used as part of a comprehensive weight-management program. Orlistat works locally in the digestive tract by inhibiting enzymes that break down dietary fat, thereby reducing the amount of fat absorbed by the body.

Xenical is intended to complement a reduced-calorie, nutritionally balanced diet and regular physical activity. Treatment should be used according to appropriate medical guidance and individual health considerations.

Medical Uses

Xenical is used as part of a weight-management program for adults with obesity or overweight accompanied by relevant health risk factors, when treatment is medically appropriate.

Directions for Use

Take only as prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional. Orlistat is generally taken with meals containing dietary fat or shortly after a meal.

If a meal contains no fat, the corresponding dose may not be necessary. Follow the recommended reduced-calorie diet and avoid excessive dietary fat to help reduce gastrointestinal side effects.
