XENICAL 120 MG 42 CAPS
Xenical (orlistat) is a medication used for weight loss in overweight or obese individuals. It works by blocking the absorption of dietary fat in the body, thereby reducing the number of calories that are absorbed.
Xenical is usually taken orally three times a day, with each main meal containing fat. The recommended dosage is 120mg per dose. It is important to follow a low-calorie, low-fat diet while taking Xenical, as high-fat meals can cause unpleasant digestive side effects.
Common side effects of Xenical may include oily or fatty stools, diarrhea, abdominal pain or discomfort, gas, and urgency to have a bowel movement. These side effects are usually temporary and improve as the body adjusts to the medication. More serious side effects may include liver damage, kidney stones, and pancreatitis.
Xenical may interact with other medications, including some diabetes medications, anticoagulants, and thyroid medications. It is important to inform a doctor of all medications being taken before starting Xenical. It is not recommended for use in pregnant or breastfeeding women unless specifically instructed by a doctor.
Xenical should only be taken under the guidance of a medical professional and with proper monitoring of potential side effects. It is not a magic pill and should be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise program for best results.
