Xenical Capsules 120mg offer a proven clinical solution for weight management and obesity treatment, provided by PakMeds with reliable home delivery.

Xenical Capsules 120mg Ingredients and Usage

Xenical Capsules 120mg contain Orlistat, a potent inhibitor of gastrointestinal lipases. This clinical medication is indicated for weight loss and weight maintenance in conjunction with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet. It is intended for patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater, or 27 or greater if other risk factors like diabetes or hypertension are present. PakMeds provides Xenical to support individuals in their clinical journey toward a healthier weight and reduced risk of obesity-related illnesses.

How Does Xenical Capsules 120mg Work?

The active ingredient, Orlistat, works locally in the stomach and small intestine. It forms a covalent bond with the active site of gastric and pancreatic lipases. These enzymes are responsible for breaking down dietary fats (triglycerides) into absorbable free fatty acids. By inhibiting these enzymes, Xenical prevents about 25% to 30% of the fat consumed in a meal from being digested and absorbed. The undigested fat is then excreted from the body naturally through the stool, leading to a reduction in total calorie intake.

Xenical Capsules 120mg Side Effects

Common side effects are gastrointestinal and related to the mechanism of the drug; these include oily spotting, flatus with discharge, and urgent or increased bowel movements. These effects are usually mild and occur early in treatment. Taking a high-fat meal increases the likelihood and severity of these side effects.

List of Warnings:

• A daily multivitamin containing fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) should be taken at least 2 hours apart from Xenical.
• The daily intake of fat should be distributed over three main meals to minimize GI side effects.
• Contraindicated in patients with chronic malabsorption syndrome or cholestasis.
• Monitor for signs of liver dysfunction, such as persistent itching or dark urine.
