What is Xenical?

Xenical is an oral medication containing Orlistat, which is the active ingredient in the weight loss product Alli. Orlistat is a lipase inhibitor. It works by blocking the absorption of fat in the body which is then metabolised by the liver and stored as a fat malabsorption complex. Orlistat is only found in certain people with an overactive or an underactive liver.

Xenical is to treat people who are overweight or obese. This medicine works by targeting the absorption of dietary fat in your body rather than suppressing your appetite.

Dietary fats are large molecules that need to be broken down before they can be absorbed into the body. They are broken down by enzymes called lipases. That is, lipases play an important role in the digestion of dietary fat. When taken with a meal, Xenical interferes with the activity of these enzymes. This allows about 30% of the fat eaten in the meal to pass through the gut undigested. Therefore, your body cannot store these excess calories as fatty tissue or use them as a source of energy. This helps you to reduce your weight by burning up fat that you are already carrying, maintain your lower weight and minimise any weight regain. Losing even small amounts of weight and keeping it off produces additional health benefits for you, especially when you are at risk for other diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. Xenical can also help to improve risk factors, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high blood sugar. If these are not treated, they could lead to other diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. Xenical should be taken in conjunction with a well-balanced calorie-controlled diet and other appropriate measures such as exercise.Active Ingredients:Xenical does not contain sucrose, gluten, tartrazine or any other azo dyes.

AUST-RenoughABSUNDIESX Xenical Capsule is used to treat obesity, which is obesity caused by a lack of food sources of blood lipids (which are known as lipids). This medicine is used to treat adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 28 or higher, as well as children and adolescents with a BMI of 25 to 27. If you are overweight or obese and have a BMIs of 28 and 30, you may have a greater than 30% risk of developing heart disease. This risk is increased if you are also taking a medicine that has a lower dose of lipase than Xenical. Heart disease - If you have heart disease, currently have taken at least 3 medicines for heart problems or are overweight, and you are taking Xenical, your risk of getting heart attack increases.

You can buy Xenical over the counter at major pharmacies. However, this article offers a general overview of the drugs it contains and advises avoiding or limiting their use.

Xenical is the brand name for orlistat, which is an active ingredient in the prescription drugalli. Xenical is not indicated in the United States or for the treatment of obesity. It is not currently available as a generic drug.

Xenical is the prescription drug in the category of obesity drugs. It is a prescription-only drug, requiring pharmacies to provide a prescription at the first sign of an indication for the drug to be used. The drug must also be administered to patients with a history of or other medical conditions that could affect the way the drug is processed in the liver and intestines.

Xenical Use

Xenical is used for the following conditions:

• all types of weight loss
• obesity
• insulin resistance
• chronic malabsorption syndromes
• metformin
• obesites

How It Works

Xenical works by inhibiting the enzyme lipase, which is responsible for breaking down dietary fat into its small molecules (cholestyramine). The presence of fat in the diet increases the susceptibility of lipases to enzymes responsible for breaking down fat into its small molecules. Xenical inhibits lipase and prevents the breakdown of fat into its molecules.

Xenical reduces the amount of fat absorbed by the body. This is achieved by inhibiting the lipase enzymes, preventing the breakdown of fat into its molecules. Consequently, less fat is absorbed and is passed on, helping to slow down or even prevent weight loss.

Possible Side Effects

Xenical may cause some side effects, including:

• constipation
• diarrhea
• gas
• nausea
• vomiting

Although these side effects are uncommon and go away on their own, they can be severe and require patient adherence.

If you experience any of the following symptoms, stop using Xenical and contact your doctor immediately:

• indigestion

Some patients may also experience allergic reactions. Patients with known allergies to orlistat, other medications they are taking, or foods they consume should consult their doctor before using Xenical.

Precautions

Xenical is not recommended for use in patients with a history of liver disease or any other diseases that increase the risk of liver problems. Patients should avoid taking Xenical with alcohol because it can increase the risk of liver damage. Patients should also avoid engaging in activities of daily living that include weight loss, exercise, or dieting unless directed to do so by a doctor. In cases of severe or persistent abdominal pain, vomiting, or dehydration, the patient should consult a doctor immediately.

Xenical should be used with caution in patients with a history of gastrointestinal (bloating medication) disease or other abnormalities of the small intestine. It is essential that the doctor knows the cause of the symptoms and the risks and benefits of Xenical. Special attention should be given to obesity, especially in patients who have a strong family history of obesity.

Drug Interactions

Xenical may interact with other drugs and substances, which can affect how Xenical interacts with the following drugs:

• diabetes medications
• other drugs for obesity
• phenytoin

There are no known drug interactions between Xenical and warfarin. However, you should discuss the potential risks and benefits of using caution when using these and other weight loss medications with your doctor or healthcare provider.
