Xenical cuts fat by a third

Posted by Nick Niesen on October 26th, 2010

Don?t blame the mirror as it shows what is in front of it. If you don?t like the size of your image you need to do something about it. Being over weight makes life ?heavy?. Do you want to carry this extra burden for the rest of your life?

If not then we will tell you a way to get rid of it. Xenical (Orlistat) is a FDA approved drug that blocks the absorption of some of the fat that you intake as a part of the meal. This medication is used in obesity management including weight loss and weight maintenance when taken along with a low calorie low fat diet.

Xenical does not suppress appetite but inhibits fat absorption by as much as one-third. The unabsorbed extra fat is passed out of the body with bowel movements.

This drug is approved for use in children in the age group of 12-16 years. Thus you can start treating obesity at a much younger age thereby reducing complications.

This medication is usually taken with each main meal that contains fat. If you miss a meal, or if you have a meal without fat, you can skip your dose of Xenical for that meal. Each time you take Xenical, your meal should not contain more than about 30% of calories from fat. You should evenly divide your daily intake of fat, carbohydrates, and protein over three main meals a day. Consult your doctor about following a healthy eating plan.

Xenical may decrease your body's absorption of some fat-soluble vitamins. To ensure adequate nutrition, your doctor may recommend taking a multivitamin that contains vitamins D, E, K, and beta-carotene. Take your vitamin supplement once a day, at least 2 hours before or after a dose of Xenical.

Always consult your doctor before beginning on a course of Xenical. Discuss your medical history in detail including major illnesses and use of prescription and non-prescription medicines. Under certain medical conditions your doctor may require to adjust the dosage and keep you under close monitoring during the initial phases.

Do not overdose yourself as higher doses do not necessarily mean more weight loss. If you are pregnant or breast feeding a baby, consult your doctor before taking Xenical, although there is no adverse medical evidence linking Xenical to these conditions.

Xenical may have an allergic reaction in some people and they should seek immediate medical help. Some minor side effects related to changes in bowel movement may be noticed in the initial stages. These are an indication that Xenical is at work. These symptoms are usually temporary and lessen or disappear are you continue the treatment.

Xenical is a prescription drug and can be purchased easily from online pharmacies. These pharmacies can even provide you with a legitimate prescription from their panel of registered physicians. Due to competition you can avail of great discounts when purchasing Xenical online. Secure payment methods, low prices, genuine quality medication and home delivery make online shopping a pleasant experience.

Orlistat may also be available under other brand names or generic formulations. But always insist on brand name Xenical for your needs.

Remember healthy eating is the key to your lasting health.
