XENICAL® is a prescription weight-control medication useful
for the long-term treatment of significant obesity.
XENICAL® can also help to improve risk factors, such as high
blood pressure, high cholesterol and high blood sugar which,
if not treated, could lead to other diseases such as hypertension
and diabetes. Each XENICAL® capsule contains 120 mg of the
active substance orlistat, which acts as a lipase inhibitor.
XENICAL® is a weight loss medication that targets the absorption
of fat in your body rather than suppressing your appetite.
It is useful for long term use and has been shown to be effective
for 1-2 years. Dietary fats are inhibited from being absorbed
and this allows about 30% of the fat eaten in the meal to
pass through the gut undigested. This helps you to reduce
and maintain your weight, as well as to minimize any weight
regain.
