Xenical (orlistat) is a prescribed weight loss medication that has been clinically proven to absorb roughly one-third of the fat contained in meals and not allow the body to break it down or digest it, passing it out through the stool. When taken as directed Xenical has been proved to reduce fat intake during meal by up to 30%. Xenical does require a firm commitment to losing fat, by keeping and maintaining a balanced diet in combination with the proper exorcise. Xenical is to be taken in 120-mg pills up to three times daily during or following the consumption of any meal containing fat. Only take Xenical as directed by your doctor.
Xenical has a phenomenal success rate for most people who take it, provided they make the commitment to lose weight and they maintain a daily diet that does not contain more than 30% calories from fat. When the body processes and digests fat it uses enzymes called lipases to help break down the fat so it can be absorbed by the body. Xenical targets and attaches to these lipases not allowing all of the fat to be broken down, and as a result one-third of the fat passes from the body in the stool. If taken as directed and with the proper diet, Xenical will help you easily shed the pounds you are looking to lose in a natural and healthy manner.
While Xenical will work great for most people you always want to talk to your doctor and make sure that this is the right weight loss drug for your situation. Your doctor may conduct a body mass index test to assure that this drug is right for you. In order for Xenical to work properly for you, you must maintain a diet that contains no more than 30% calories from fat, as well as making sure that you take Xenical with every meal containing fat.
As is true for all drugs, Xenical does have some side effects that you should know about.
It is important to note that most of these side effects come from the excess fat that Xenical absorbs being passed through the bowels. In most cases the side effects occurred when Xenical was taken following a meal which contained more than 30% fat. In many cases the side effects will cease after continued usage of Xenical.
Always consult with your doctor to make sure that Xenical is right for you. While this drug will work great for most people there are some people who may not be able to take Xenical including those who suffer from:
