About Xenical Capsules – Weight Loss Treatment
– Should be combined with a healthy diet and exercise
– Prevents fat from being digested
– Discreet and quick delivery
Dosage:
– Take one 120mg Xenical capsule three times a day with each main meal.
– Swallow the capsule with water before, during, or up to an hour after meals containing fat.
– If you skip a meal or eat a fat-free meal, you can skip that dose of Xenical.
Dietary Recommendations:
– Follow a balanced, reduced-calorie diet where approximately 30% of your calories come from fat.
– Distribute your daily intake of fat, carbohydrates, and protein evenly across three main meals.
Vitamins:
Due to Xenical’s effect on fat absorption, take a daily multivitamin supplement containing vitamins A, D, E, and K, at least two hours before or after taking Xenical.
Contraindications:
– Do not take Xenical if you are allergic to orlistat or any other ingredients in the capsules.
– Not suitable for individuals with chronic malabsorption syndrome or cholestasis (a liver disorder).
– Avoid use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a BMI less than 30 (or less than 28 with related health conditions).
Medical Conditions:
– Consult your doctor if you have kidney problems, epilepsy, diabetes, or other ongoing health issues.
Medication Interactions:
– Xenical may interact with other medications, including those for mental health disorders, heart conditions, HIV treatment, anticoagulants, ciclosporin, thyroid medications, epilepsy treatments, and diabetes management.
– Women using contraceptive pills should consider additional contraception methods, as severe diarrhoea may reduce the pill’s effectiveness.
Alcohol Consumption:
– Limit alcohol intake while using Xenical, as it contains high calories that can hinder weight loss efforts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Xenical works by blocking the absorption of about one-third of the fat in the food you eat, which is then excreted from your body through bowel movements. This helps reduce overall calorie intake from dietary fats.
Take one 120mg capsule with water immediately before, during, or up to one hour after each main meal that contains fat. Do not exceed three doses per day.
Xenical is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to limited safety data and potential nutrient absorption issues for the baby.
Follow a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet while taking Xenical. Distribute your daily intake of fat, carbohydrates, and protein evenly across three main meals to minimise gastrointestinal side effects.

Common side effects include flatulence, oily stools, and increased bowel movements. These typically occur due to unabsorbed fat being excreted and can be managed by adhering to a low-fat diet.
