ROCHE Xenical helps you to achieve weight loss without suppressing your appetite.It is one of the most successfull treatment forweightloss. Xenical promotes weight loss, weight management and maintenance and reduction in weight regain and to improve obesity related disease factors when compared to diet alone. How it works Enzymes in your intestinal tract, called lipases, help digest (break down) fat. When you take Xenical with meals, Xenical attaches to the lipases and blocks them from breaking down some of the fat you have eaten. Xenical reduced the body's ability to absorb fat by approximately 30 percent. While fat is an important component of a balanced diet, the consumption of excess fat in your daily diet, contributes to body weight. In most cases, weight loss is gradual. Obese patients treated with Xenical and a reduced-calorie diet for one year lost an average of 13.4 pounds while those on a reduced calorie diet alone, lost 5.8 pounds. Dosages The recommended dose is one capsule by mouth with liquid at each main meal. You should use Xenical together with a nutritionally balanced, mildly reduced-calorie diet that contains no more than about 30 percent of calories from fat. It is packed in packets of 84 tabs. Supplements Xenical interferes with your body's absorption of some fat-soluble vitamins. Therefore, Xenical should be taken in conjunction with a daily multivitamin supplement containing vitamins D, E, K, and beta-carotene. These should be taken 2 hours either side of taking Xenical. Side effects Since Xenical interferes with the absorption of fat, changes in bowel habits may be evident. Side effects generally occur within the first few weeks of treatment but tend to subside later in the treatment phase. These may include oily spotting, gas with discharge, oily or fatty stools and increased number of bowel movements. These bowel changes are a natural effect of blocking the fat from being absorbed and indicate that Xenical is working.
