Xenical is
an anti-obesity agent.
It does not suppress your appetite. It is a potent, specific and
long-acting inhibitor of gastrointestinallipases. The inactivated
enzyme is thus unavailable to hydrolyse dietary fat, and this allows
about 30% of the fat eaten in the meal to pass through the gut undigested.
Your body therefore, cannot use this dietary fat as a source of
energy and convert it to fat tissue.
This will
help you reduce your weight.
XENICAL
is for people who are considerably overweight
(at least 30 lbs, depending on height or have a BMI of 30 or greater).
XENICAL is also for people
who are overweight
(at least 20 lbs, depending on height or have a BMI of 27 or greater)
and also have other risk factors such as high blood pressure, high
cholesterol, heart disease or diabetes.
XENICAL
should be taken with a reduced-calorie diet containing no more than
30% of calories from fat.

weight loss by lowering absorption of dietary fat, on average by
30% with a dose of 120 mg three times a day.

contains the additional excipients microcrystalline cellulose, sodium
starch glycollate, povidone, sodium lauryl sulphate and talc. The
capsule shell consists of gelatine, indigo carmine (E 132), titanium
dioxide (E 171) and edible printing ink.

Inform your
doctor before starting treatment with Xenical
:
if you:
- suffer from
chronic malabsorption syndrome
- are allergic
to other medicines, foods or dyes
- are taking
other medicines, including those you have obtained without a prescription.
Weight loss
may also affect the dose of medication taken for other conditions
(e.g. high cholesterol or diabetes).
Be sure to discuss these and other drugs you may be taking
with your doctor.
Losing
weight may mean you need adjustments to the dose of these medications.
To gain the
maximum benefit from Xenical
you should follow the nutrition program recommended to you by your
doctor. As with any weight-control program, over-consumption of
fat and calories may negate any weight loss effect.
This medicine can cause harmless changes in your bowel habits, such
as fatty or oily'stools, due to the elimination of undigested fat
in your faeces. The possibility of this happening may increase if
Xenical is taken
with a diet high in fat.
In addition
your daily intake of fat should be distributed evenly over three
main meals because if Xenical is
taken with a meal very high in fat, the possibility of gastrointestinal
effects may increase.
Follow
the directions for using this medicine provided by your doctor,
otherwise you will not fully benefit from Xenical.
