About Orlistat (Xenical)
Xenical contains Orlistat 120mg, a prescription-strength lipase inhibitor for long-term obesity management in adults with a BMI ≥30, or ≥27 with weight-related conditions. It prevents the absorption of dietary fat to create a caloric deficit, supporting sustained weight management.
Benefits of Orlistat (Xenical)
- Clinically Proven: Prescription-strength 120mg formulation with robust clinical evidence.
- Fat Absorption Reduction: Blocks approximately 30% of dietary fat absorption.
- Long-Term Use: Approved for use beyond 12 weeks unlike many weight loss agents.
How Orlistat (Xenical) Works
Orlistat 120mg irreversibly inhibits gastric and pancreatic lipases in the GI tract, preventing hydrolysis of dietary triglycerides. Undigested fat passes through to the colon and is excreted, reducing net caloric absorption and supporting a sustained negative energy balance.
Dosage & Usage
- Dosage: 120mg with each main fat-containing meal, three times daily as prescribed.
- Precautions: Take a multivitamin supplement; dietary fat restriction reduces GI side effects.
Side Effects
- Oily or fatty stools
- Faecal urgency or increased bowel movements
- Flatulence with oil discharge
