Xenical, containing the active ingredient orlistat, works by preventing your body from absorbing about a third of the fat you consume. This means fewer calories are absorbed, aiding weight loss.
How Xenical Helps with Weight Management
It’s a lipase inhibitor. Lipase is an enzyme that breaks down fats in your food. By blocking lipase, Xenical reduces fat digestion and absorption. This fat is then eliminated from your body through bowel movements. Remember, Xenical is most effective when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and regular exercise.
Who Should Consider Xenical?
Xenical is prescribed for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher (obese) or those with a BMI of 28 or higher (overweight) who also have weight-related health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Your doctor will assess your suitability.
Consult a healthcare professional before starting any weight loss medication. They can help you understand potential side effects and ensure Xenical is appropriate for your individual circumstances and health profile. They will also advise on a proper diet and exercise plan.
