Xenical – Is it Effective?

Xenical – Information

Ingredient: Orlistat
Dosage form: capsule

Xenical is similar to Alli and promotes weight loss by blocking the fat absorption in the body. Xenical blocks the action of lipase (an enzyme produced by the pancreas) which is responsible for breaking the fat for digestion and thus prevents the absorption of fat. Xenical can block upto 25% of the fat intake which is then excreted in the stool. Orlistat the primary ingredient in Xenical is responsible for blocking the fat absortion.
Xenical Side effects

Xenical is recommended with a reduced-calorie diet and weight reduction plan to treat obesity in people with certain risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Xenical is only advised for adults with a BMI of 30 or more. Xenical is available for oral use as a capsule containing 120 mg of the active ingredient, orlistat.

Xenical belongs to a group called lipase inhibitors. Unlike other weight loss pills, Xenical works in the digestive system and blocks the fat you eat from being digested. Xenical attaches itself to the fat breaking enzymes and thus prevents the fat absorption.

Xenical – User opinions and feedback.

I’ve been taking Xenical with Adipex for about 6 weeks now and have lost a total of 18 lbs. I’m taking in around 1000 calories and eating healthier than I ever have. I only got the orange, oily stools for the first two weeks and once after I ate a salad with breaded chicken a few weeks back. Losing weight takes dedication. Speaking from my own experience, if you want to lose more weight, you HAVE to cut back on ALL fatty foods. I have completely given up eating fast food, pizza and any kind of sweets.

I am not taking xenical now, but i took it 2 years ago for several months. I lost 20 lbs while taking it. My experience with it was good, BUT you must be very careful with your fat intake. I found i could not go out to eat and i had to watch my fat grams, i can’t remember exactly but i think if you exceed more then 30 grams of fat you can have terrible side effect.

I get no side effects at all (apart from maybe a mild windy tummy) by sticking to a low calorie diet. If you eat too much fat you will get the side effects. This drug is controllable if you have the will power not to ‘cheat’. I definitely recommend taking a multi-vit each day also.:)

    Hi Jane,
    Thanks for visiting.
    If you follow the instructions, include fiber in your diet & cut down on fat content, you should be fine with Alli & should results in 3-4 weeks time.
