Xenical Generic |  | Xenical Generic DescriptionsMillions of people around the globe are fed up of their fatty body mass and want to get rid of it at any cost. Consuming Generic Xenical is one of the most effective ways to get rid of such unwanted fats that get concentrated in our body. Generic Orlistat is a drug that promotes loss of weight, by preventing the digestion and absorption of dietary fat. In an intestine, there is an enzyme present known as lipase which is produced primarily by the pancreas, breaks apart dietary fat so that the fat can be absorbed into the body. Orlistat blocks the action of lipase and thereby prevents the breakup and absorption of fat. And the unabsorbed fat is excreted in the stool.
Hence, generic Xenical actually blocks some of the fat that we eat, keeping it from being absorbed by our body. Generic Xenical is used together with a reduced-calorie diet and weight maintenance to treat obesity in people with certain risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, triglycerides etc.
Moreover, Orlistat was approved by the FDA in 1999.
However, before taking Orlistat i.e. Xenical medication, ask your pharmacist or doctor for a copy of the manufacturer’s information for the patient and read it carefully. Talk to your doctor about all the possible risks of taking Xenical medication. However, Xenical may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide. Hence, for more information, consult your doctor and your medical pharmacist.

 |  | How To Use Xenical Generic
Follow the directions given by the doctor exactly for the usage of the Xenical i.e. Orlistat medication and also read the prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand.
The recommended dose for Orlistat is one capsule 120 mg three times daily. Orlistat should be taken one hour after or during a meal containing fat. Meals without fat do not require Orlistat. No additional benefit has been shown when Orlistat was taken in doses greater than 120mg. Patients should eat a nutritionally balanced reduced calorie diet that contains approximately 30 of calories from fat.
Some dietary vitamins bind to fat vitamins A, D, E and beta- carotene. When Orlistat is taken these vitamins are not absorbed and are eliminated in the stool in increased amounts along with the fat. Therefore, patients taking Orlistat should take a multivitamin containing these fat-soluble vitamins to ensure that adequate amounts of the vitamins are available for absorption. To ensure that the vitamins in the multivitamins are not bound to fat like the vitamins in the diet the multivitamin should be taken at least two hours before or several hours after the Orlistat.
Continue to take Orlistat even if you feel well. Do not stop taking Orlistat without talking to your doctor.
