XENICAL
PRODUCTS
Indication
Xenical™ (orlistat) blocks some of the fat that you eat, keeping it from being absorbed by your body.
Xenical™ is used to aid in weight loss, or to help reduce the risk of regaining weight already lost. This medicine must be used together with a reduced-calorie diet and is to used only by adults.
Xenical™ is the strength form of orlistat.
XENICAL™ is indicated for obesity management including weight loss and weight maintenance when used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet. XENICAL™ is also indicated to reduce the risk for weight regain after prior weight loss. XENICAL™ is indicated for obese patients with an initial body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2 or ≥27 kg/m2 in the presence of other risk factors (e.g., hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia). You should not use this medicine if you have a digestive disorder (problems absorbing food). You should not use Xenical™ if you have gallbladder problems, or if you are pregnant.
Dosage
Xenical™ is usually taken 3 times per day with each main meal that contains some fat (no more than 30% of the calories for that meal). You may take the medicine either with your meal or up to 1 hour after eating.
If you skip a meal or you eat a meal that does not contain any fat, skip your dose for that meal.
The fat content of your daily diet should not be greater than 30% of your total daily caloric intake. For example, if you eat 1200 calories per day, no more than 360 of those calories should be in the form of fat.
Read the label of all food items you consume, paying special attention to the number of servings per container. Your doctor, nutrition counselor, or dietitian can help you develop a healthy eating plan.
Xenical™ is only part of a complete program of treatment that also includes diet, exercise, and weight control. Your daily intake of fat, protein, and carbohydrates should be evenly divided over all of your daily meals. Follow your diet, medication, and exercise routines very closely.
Orlistat can make it harder for your body to absorb certain vitamins, and you may need to take a vitamin and mineral supplement while you are taking Xenical. Follow your doctor's instructions about the type of supplement to use.
Take the supplement at bedtime, or at least 2 hours before or after you take orlistat.
