Xenical
Xenical diet pill is a new class of weight loss medicine that is used to treat obesity. Xenical diet pill does not suppress appetite, but inhibits the absorption of fat in the stomach.
More information
XENICAL diet pill is available as a dark-blue, hard-gelatin capsule, with light-blue imprinting. Each capsule contains 120 mg of the active ingredient orlistat xenical.
HOW DOES XENICAL DRUG WORK?
Xenical tablet does not act centrally on the brain to reduce appetite. Xenical’s action takes place in the lumen of the stomach and absorption of the drug into the blood is minimal. In contradistinction, most other weight loss medicines act on specific areas of the brain to reduce appetite. You eat less, you lose weight – but at a price. In order to get to the brain, these drugs must enter the blood stream. Therefore, these drugs may have systemic side effects (central nervous system and cardiovascular), ranging from minor to severe and are indicated only for short-term use. But, most important, these drugs do little if anything to help people change their eating habits or lifestyles. Therefore, when they stop taking the drugs, the weight is quickly regained.
Xenical diet pill, on the other hand, is a reversible inhibitor of lipases made in the stomach and pancreas. Lipases are enzymes that break down fat. After we eat a fatty meal (such as meat) fats reach the stomach in a form called triglycerides. Triglycerides cannot be absorbed into the blood unless lipases break them down into compounds called fatty acids. XENICAL prevents this breakdown and the undigested triglycerides are excreted into the stool. The resulting decrease in caloric intake can have a positive effect on losing weight.
HOW MUCH CAN I LOSE WEIGHT WITH XENICAL?
There is no clear-cut amount of weight that can be lost when taking Xenical medication pills. Remember, in order Xenical tablets to work optimally you must restrict your fat intake and increase exercise. If you are committed to your weight loss program there is essentially no limit as to how much weight you can loose. Nonetheless, weight loss should be gradual and always be done safely. While it is important that you decrease you fat intake it is equally as important that you eat healthy and insure you obtain all essential nutrients each and every day. Keep in mind that even a small amount of weight loss can reward you with a big gain in your health. A loss of 5 to 10% of your current weight can result in a significant reduction of risk for disease.
CLINICAL EFFICACY STUDIES FOR XENICAL
:
Pooled data from multiple trials indicated that weight loss averaged 12.4 lbs. to 13.4 lbs. in patients taking Xenical. Overall 57% of treated patients lost over 5% of their base-line body weight. Those on Xenical showed a decrease in total blood cholesterol and LDL cholesterol (low density cholesterol). This form of cholesterol acts to promote the deposition of fatty plaques along the walls of arteries. There was a concomitant increase in HDL cholesterol (high density cholesterol). This form of cholesterol acts to inhibit the deposition of fatty plaques along the walls of arteries. In international clinical studies with thousands of patients, most individuals using XENICAL lost, on average, 10% of their initial body weight over a 6-8 month period.
ARE THERE OTHER BENEFITS TO TAKING XENICAL?
In addition to reducing weight, XENICAL reduces :
- high blood pressure.
- the amount of anti-diabetic medication required (if already diabetic).
- triglycerides.
- body fat.
- the chance of developing type II diabetes.

The initial body mass index is calculated utilizing the patient’s height and weight. Therefore it in not generally recommended that it be used as a “summer” medication for transient weight loss.

Xenical capsule has been shown to reduce the absorption of some fat-soluble vitamins and beta-carotene. The supplement should be taken once a day at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after a dose of Xenical. Bedtime is a very convenient time to take your vitamin.
IF I TAKE MORE THAN ONE CAPSULE AT A TIME, WILL IT BLOCK MORE FAT?
No. There is absolutely no benefit to taking more than the recommended dose.
DO I HAVE TO TAKE A CAPSULE WITH EVERY MEAL?
If you skip a meal or your meal contains little fat (note: be careful of the hidden fats in many foods), there is no reason to take Xenical, although there is no harm in taking the capsule. Taking a capsule with each meal will help you to remember and avoid missing doses.
WHAT IF I EAT MORE THAN THREE MEALS A DAY?
It is strongly recommended that you eat several meals throughout the day. But, you should not take more than 3 Xenical capsules per day.
WHAT IF I MISS TAKING A CAPSULE WITH A MEAL?
Nothing. You simply miss the benefit of XENICAL PILL.
DOES XENICAL INTERACT WITH OTHER MEDICATIONS?
Clinical studies have shown that Xenical does not interact with commonly used medications. However, before starting Xenical it is essential that you tell us on your medical history/personal profile of any and all medications (prescription and non-prescription) that you are currently taking.
COULD I BECOME ADDICTED TO XENICAL?
Physiological dependence does not occur because Xenical is not absorbed into the blood. Nonetheless, psychological dependence can rarely become a problem. Thus, the notion that this medicine is totally non-addictive is false.
CAN I OVERDOSE ON XENICAL?
Xenical pill is very safe. There have been no cases of overdosing. In experiments, patients who took doses of Xenical many times over the recommended dose experienced no ill effects. Remember, taking more Xenical tablets gives no extra benefit.
Xenical side effects:
DOES XENICAL HAVE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
XENICAL has none of the side effects normally associated with diet medications that act on the brain. XENICAL’s side effects are strictly gastrointestinal in nature and related to its action of blocking the digestion of ingested fat. The fat that is not absorbed into the bloodstream remains in the intestine and becomes mixed with the stool. The increased fat in the stool can cause any of the following :
- gas (flatulence) – sometimes with oily spotting
- increased frequency of bowel movements
- fatty/ oily stool
How often or how quickly these effects occur will vary from person to person and will depend on how much extra fat was consumed. They can occur within hours after eating a meal or up to a day or two later. These side effects usually occur early in treatment, last for only a short period, and disappear over time. Importantly, you can control the effects if you control your fat intake. Remember: it’s not the XENICAL, it’s the fat you eat that causes the events.
Xenical success stories:
Xenical success story from Katsbarker
Xenical seems to work. I have tried everything and I couldn’t loose any weight. Any women who want to be a normal size in my family just can’t eat anything or they get very large. Even maintaining the weight that I am now (200) takes a lot of work. I have to go on three small walks a day and not eat lunch or breakfast. I really would like to loose 50 pounds because of back problems and I found a good price for Xenical ($99 for a month) so I thought that I would try Xenical pills since it doesn’t effect your heart (like phenfen). I have now been on Xenical pills for three weeks and have lost 3 pounds. It probably would have been more but I am a stress eater and have been in the middle of finals while working full time. I can really tell that its working though and while the sideffects (oily stools, etc) may be a little unnerving, all that fat would still be in my body if I hadn’t taken it. It’s all in perspective. I have ordered three more months of it and will repost in a month or so….
Xenical success story from Pennykit
Xenical Works to a degree… Xenical is great if you just over indulge in fats. But if you have a problem with Carbs, it will be of little help. For those with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome it is helpful but not the the lifesaver we are looking for. Be prepared for oil slick if you do eat more fat. I have lost some weight with Xenical, and am maintaining that loss.
Xenical success story from Lorry
Xenical btw Wasn’t useful for me. I was on Xenical for a few months and lost some weight… not much like 10-15 lbs…it was easy but the Xenical side effects where not good..I am on Zoloft for depression and you couldn’t take them both so I had to stop the Zoloft and that was a huge mistake…the doctor said that the Xenical would help me from being depressed but it didn’t and I hated the way I felt…I spent so much time in my bedroom crying and feeling awful that I didn’t want to eat….I had to go back on the Zoloft and give the Xenical up and I don’t know if it would of ever worked and I didn’t care..I just wanted to feel normal again…even if I was overweight…
