Description
Xenical 120Mg 84Cap contains orlistat, a potent and specific inhibitor of gastrointestinal lipases. Each capsule contains 120 milligrams of orlistat, and the pack contains 84 capsules.
Orlistat works in the digestive system to block the absorption of about one-third of the fat you eat. Lipases are enzymes in your digestive tract that break down dietary fat into smaller molecules so they can be absorbed into the body. Orlistat attaches to these lipases and prevents them from breaking down the fat. As a result, the undigested fat passes through your bowel movements.
Xenical 120mg capsules are used to aid weight loss in overweight adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or greater, or overweight adults with a BMI of 27 kg/m² or greater who also have weight-related medical risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes. It should be used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet.
Xenical helps in weight management by:
- Reducing the amount of dietary fat absorbed by the body.
- Promoting weight loss when used in combination with a healthy diet and exercise.
- Potentially improving weight-related health risk factors.
Xenical 120Mg 84Cap contains orlistat, a lipase inhibitor that reduces the absorption of dietary fat, aiding in weight loss when used with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet.
Directions for use: Always take Xenical 120mg capsules exactly as directed by your doctor. The usual dose is one 120mg capsule taken with each main meal that contains fat (during or up to 1 hour after the meal). If you skip a meal or a meal contains no fat, you should not take a dose of Xenical. The recommended daily intake of fat should be distributed over three main meals. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully regarding the dosage and duration of treatment.
Important Information: Xenical is a prescription medication. Inform your doctor if you have any allergies to orlistat or any other ingredients in the capsules. Disclose your medical history, particularly if you have any malabsorption syndrome, cholestasis (reduced flow of bile from the liver), or kidney problems. Xenical can affect the absorption of some fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K). Your doctor may recommend taking a multivitamin supplement. Common side effects are mainly related to the gastrointestinal system and may include oily stools, flatulence with discharge, fecal urgency, and increased frequency of bowel movements. These side effects are often mild and temporary and may decrease with continued treatment and adherence to a low-fat diet. Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and herbal supplements, as interactions can occur, particularly with certain medications like cyclosporine and warfarin. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before taking Xenical. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Check the expiry date on the packaging before use.
