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. 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. Xenical (Orlistat)Xenical capsules. Each Xenical capsule contains 120 mg. orlistat. Xenical comes in packs of 84 capsules and is manufactured by Roche. Common uses and directions for XenicalXenical achieves weight loss by using the existing fat from the body. By taking Xenical with each meal (3 times daily), Xenical allows one third of the fat to pass through the body undigested, aiding in weight loss.Health problems, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes, have improved with extended use of Xenical diet pills. Xenical should still be taken with a low fat diet program and fat intake should be split evenly between the 3 daily meals. With regular use, Xenical diet pills help achieve weight loss, maintain your weight loss and minimize any weight regain. Xenical has a greater success of weight loss when accompanied by a reduced calorie diet plan with no more than 30% of calories from fat. By not reducing your fat intake while taking Xenical, a greater chance of unwanted side effects such as oily discharge may occur. The National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) has recommended that Xenical is used under the following conditions: Individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or more. Xenical (Orlistat) additional information:Common uses Xenical is indicated for obesity management including weight loss and weight maintenance when used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet. Xenical is also indicated to reduce the risk for weight regain after prior weight loss. Xenical, directionsTake Xenical by mouth, generally three times daily during (or up to one hour after) each main meal that contains fat. The 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 Xenical. Because Xenical 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 Xenical (e.g., at bedtime). The effects of Xenical may begin as soon as 1-2 days after treatment begins; noticeable weight loss will take longer.If you miss a dose, take it as soon as remembered if it is within an hour or so. If you do not remember until later, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not "double-up" the dose to catch up. Xenical, precautionsGastrointestinal events may increase when Xenical is taken with a diet high in fat (>30% total daily calories from fat).There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of Xenical in pregnant women.

The safety and efficacy of Xenical in pediatric patients have not been established. Some individuals may develop increased levels of urinary oxalate following treatment with Xenical. Caution should be exercised while using Xenical by individuals with a history of hyperoxaluria or calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis.
