Xenical (Orlistat) 120mg – Effective Weight Loss Medication

Xenical 120mg (Orlistat) is a medication used to assist with weight loss in adults who are overweight or obese. It works by inhibiting the action of enzymes called lipases in the stomach and intestines, which are responsible for breaking down fat. By blocking the absorption of some of the fat you eat, Orlistat reduces the number of calories your body absorbs, helping to create a calorie deficit and promote weight loss.

Xenical is typically used alongside a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet and regular physical activity. It is often prescribed for individuals who have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone and need additional support. Xenical can also help reduce the risk of obesity-related conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.

How It Works:
Orlistat blocks the action of lipase enzymes in the stomach and intestines, preventing the breakdown of fat into smaller molecules that the body can absorb. About one-third of the fat you eat is not absorbed and is excreted in the stool. This mechanism helps to reduce overall calorie intake, contributing to weight loss and better management of body fat.

How to Use:

• Adults: Take one 120mg tablet with each main meal, usually three times a day.

• Dosage: For the best results, Xenical should be taken with meals that contain fat. If a meal is fat-free, you can skip the dose for that meal.

• Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not chew or crush the tablet.

• Diet: A low-fat diet is essential while taking Xenical. You should aim to consume no more than 30% of your daily calories from fat.

• Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, simply skip it and take your next dose at the usual time. Do not take two doses at once.

Key Ingredients:

• Orlistat 120mg: The active ingredient that blocks the absorption of fat in the digestive system, helping with weight loss.

Safety Information:

• Side Effects: The most common side effects of Orlistat include gastrointestinal issues like flatulence, oily stools, and stomach discomfort. These effects are usually mild and go away once your body adjusts to the medication.

• Warnings:

  • Fat-Soluble Vitamins: Because Xenical reduces fat absorption, it may also reduce the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K). It is recommended to take a multivitamin containing these vitamins at least two hours before or after taking Xenical.

  • Liver Problems: Orlistat can sometimes cause liver problems. If you notice symptoms such as yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, or pain in the upper abdomen, stop taking Xenical and consult your doctor immediately.

  • Kidney Stones: Rarely, Xenical can increase the risk of kidney stones, especially in individuals with pre-existing kidney conditions.

  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Xenical is not recommended during pregnancy. If you are breastfeeding, consult your doctor before taking Xenical, as it may not be safe for your baby.

  • Drug Interactions: Xenical may interact with certain medications, including blood thinners, anti-seizure medications, and thyroid medications. Be sure to inform your doctor about any other medications you are currently taking.

  • Cholestasis: Xenical should not be used by individuals with chronic malabsorption syndrome or cholestasis, as it may interfere with the digestion and absorption of fat.
