Xenical
is a prescription weight-control medication useful for the long-term treatment
of significant obesity.
Xenical can also help to improve risk factors, such as
high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high blood sugar which, if not
treated, could lead to other diseases such as hypertension and diabetes.
Each Xenical capsule contains 120 mg of the active substance orlistat,
which acts as a lipase inhibitor.
Xenical is a weight
loss medication that targets the absorption of fat in your body rather
than suppressing your appetite. It is useful for long term use and has
been shown to be effective for 1-2 years. Dietary fats are inhibited from
being absorbed and this allows about 30% of the fat eaten in the meal
to pass through the gut undigested. This helps you to reduce and maintain
your weight, as well as to minimize any weight regain.
