Xenical (orlistat) weight loss treatment
Xenical operates by reducing the ability of the stomach and small intestine to digest
and absorb fat in the diet. As a result the calories from fatty foods cannot be
absorbed and so calorie intake reduces. As a result, weight loss is achieved. In
a 4 year official trial, 60% of patients taking Xenical in conjuction with a moderate
diet achieved weight loss of 5% of their body weight after 12 weeks. 62% of these
went on to lose 10% of their body weight in 1 year. In addition the weight loss
delayed the development of type 2 diabetes during the study.

How to Use Xenical
The usual dose of Xenical is one 120 mg capsule taken with each of the three main
meals per day. It can be taken immediately before, during a meal or up to one hour
after a meal.
It should be taken with a well-balanced, calorie controlled diet that is rich in
fruit and vegetables and contains an average of 30% of the calories from fat. Your
daily intake of fat, carbohydrate and protein should be distributed over three meals.
This means you will usually take one capsule at breakfast time, one capsule at lunch
time and one capsule at dinner time. To gain optimal benefit avoid the intake of
food containing fat between meals, such as biscuits, chocolate and savoury snacks.
Xenical only works in the presence of dietary fat. Therefore, if you miss a main
meal or if you have a meal containing no fat, Xenical need not be taken.
If you take any vitamin supplements you should wait for 2 hours after taking Xenical
before you take your vitamin.
If you do not lose at least 5% of your body weight in 12 weeks, then you should
stop taking Xenical as it is unlikely to work for you.

Xenical (orlistat) Side Effects
Xenical should only be taken if prescribed by a registered doctor. Xenical should
not be taken by people suffering with chronic malabsorption syndrome, cholestasis
or by pregnant or breast-feeding women. The use of an additional contraceptive method
is recommended to prevent possible failure of oral contraception that could occur
in case of severe diarrhoea. Xenical can also interact with other medication, so it
is important to tell your doctor about all medication you are taking when
he prescribes Xenical. Like all medicines Xenical can cause side effects but many
people will not get them. The most common are urgent or increased need to open the
bowels, flatulence with discharge, oily discharge and oily or fatty stools. Rarely
an allergic reaction can occur. If you feel unwell when taking Xenical or any side
effects become serious you should consult your doctor immediately. Please consult
the full list of Xenical side effects on the patient information leaflet provided
with your treatment. Details of this can also be found here If you want to lose
