Xenical
Xenical is a prescription medication used to help manage obesity,
weight loss and weight maintenance. Xenical works by blocking
fats from being absorbed by the body. With Xenical your risk of
regaining the lost weight is lowered. Xenical helps most users
lose weight quick and keep it off.
How Xenical Works
If you're overweight, you not only want to lose weight quick,
you also want to keep it off. Here's how Xenical works:
Your body contains enzymes that break down the fats you eat.
Those fats are then absorbed into your system. Xenical attaches
itself to the enzymes, which prevents the fats from being
absorbed – instead, they are eliminated in your bowel movements.
In this way, Xenical blocks about one third of fats. Xenical
works best in combination with a healthy eating plan in order to
lose weight quick. (For more information, visit our Weight Loss
Center).
Advantage of Xenical
Xenical not only blocks fats from being stored in your body. It
has several other advantages. Xenical can also reduce the risk
of high blood pressure, lower cholesterol, reduce or eliminate
the required dose of diabetic medication, and reduce the risk of
type 2 diabetes. Xenical does not require a rigorous exercise
regime or radical diets that promise to help you lose weight
fast.
How to Take Xenical
Xenical should be taken three times daily during meals or up to
one hour after. Because Xenical reduces the absorption of fat,
taking a daily multivitamin containing fat-soluble vitamins is
recommended for proper nutrition. To lose weight faster while
taking Xenical, eat a diet lower in calories and fats.
Xenical Side Effects
Side effects with Xenical include oily spotting, flatulence,
loose stool, and abdominal discomfort. These side effects
generally become less common as treatment continues.
Xenical Precautions
It is important that the doctor has your complete medical
history. Consult with your doctor if you have an under active
thyroid, chronic malabsorbtion syndrome or cholestatisis, gall
bladder problems, gallstones, pregnant or breast feeding.
Drug Interactions
Before taking Xenical, inform your doctor about all the
medicines you use (prescription and nonprescription) especially
if you take cyclosporine, pravastatin, and warfarin.
