Possible uses of this medication
Xenical is a prescription weight-control medication
useful for the long-term treatment of significant
obesity.
How to take this medication
Xenical is taken with each meal (three times
daily). Your daily fat intake should be divided
equally between these three meals so you will
benefit from Xenical's actions. Your medicine
should be swallowed with water.
Side Effects
Loose stools and increased gas or flatulence.
These symptoms are generally mild, occur at
the beginning of treatment, go away after a
short period of time and are particularly experienced
after meals containing high levels of fat. Normally,
these symptoms disappear if you continue treatment
and keep to your recommended diet.
Precautions
This medicine can cause changes in your bowel
habits, such as fatty or oily stools, due to
the elimination of undigested fat in your stool.
XENICAL reduces the absorption of supplements
of some fat soluble nutrients, particularly
beta-carotene and vitamin E. You should therefore
follow your doctor's advice in taking a well
balanced diet rich in fruit and vegetables.
Notes
Allergy to Xenical or chronic malabsorption
syndromes such as sprue or steatorrhea. XENICAL
is not intended to be used in children or pregnant
and nursing women.
