About Xenical
About orlistat-XENICAL
XENICAL is a prescription medication that can help considerably overweight people lose weight and keep it off. We know that managing your weight can be frustrating, and sometimes you need a little extra support. Support you can’t find in a pill alone. To succeed you may have to change the way you feel about food and about your body.
How effective is XENICAL?
In clinical studies, people treated with XENICAL and a reduced-calorie diet with no more than 30% of calories from fat achieved significantly greater weight loss than people who were treated with diet alone.
The studies were designed with all participants eating a reduced-calorie diet for 4 weeks, followed by the diet plus XENICAL or the diet alone for 52 weeks. After 52 weeks, those taking XENICAL plus diet lost an average of twice as much weight as those who used the diet alone (approximately 13.4 lbs versus 5.8 lbs). Furthermore, 69.1% of patients receiving XENICAL lost 3% of their total body weight (an average of 13 lbs) after 3 months and 19 lbs after 1 year.
About Fat blocker Xenical
Xenical (which goes by the generic name orlistat) works by binding some of our body’s digestive enzymes, blocking the absorption of about 30 percent of the fat eaten in a meal. If fat can’t be absorbed into the body, then it can’t provide calories. So theoretically, you could eat foods that contain fat and still lose weight. But unfortunately, fat isn’t the only nutrient the drug affects.
AboutVitamin blocker(orlistat) When Xenical joins with digestive enzymes to block fat absorption, it also stops the absorption of some fat-soluble vitamins and beta-carotene. To compensate, you need to take a multivitamin containing vitamins E, D, K and beta-carotene once a day, at least two hours before or two hours after taking Xenical.
