What is Xenical and what is it used for?
Looking to buy Xenical for effective weight management? Xenical is a weight loss medication designed to assist people in losing weight, especially those who are significantly overweight with a BMI over 30, or those who have health conditions like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol, along with a BMI over 28. Xenical works by preventing your body from absorbing fat from the food you consume. By reducing the amount of fat absorbed, it can make weight loss more achievable.
Body Mass Index (BMI) and Xenical
You can buy Xenical if you have a BMI over 30, as it’s typically suitable for individuals in that range. However, those with conditions like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol may use Xenical with a BMI over 28. You can quickly calculate your BMI by entering your height and weight into a BMI calculator.
What is the difference between Xenical and Orlistat?
Xenical contains the active ingredient Orlistat. Orlistat is the less expensive generic version of Xenical. Both medications are equally effective, as they contain the same active ingredient in the same dosage. Generic medicines, including Orlistat, are required to demonstrate that they work the same as the brand-name drug before they can be sold, so they are just as effective.
How should I take Xenical?
The recommended dosage is one 120mg capsule of Xenical three times a day. You should take it before, during, or up to 1 hour after each main meal. It is advised to try Xenical for a 3-month period. If you haven’t lost any weight after this period, you should discontinue use of the medication.
What are the side effects of Xenical?
Like all medications, Xenical can cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them. The most common side effects are related to how Xenical affects your digestive system and are typically mild. These side effects may occur mainly at the beginning of treatment, especially after consuming meals high in fat, and usually improve over time as your body adjusts to the medication.
Xenical can make it more difficult for your body to absorb certain vitamins, so it is essential to take a daily multivitamin containing vitamins A, D, E, and K. Take the multivitamin at least 2 hours before or after Xenical, ideally before bedtime.
The most common side effects of Xenical, affecting more than 1 in 10 people, include headache, abdominal pain or discomfort, an increased urge to use the restroom, passing gas, oily discharge, and oily/fatty stools.
