Product Details and Usage
XENICAL is indicated for the management of obesity and weight maintenance. It works by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for fat absorption in the digestive tract, thereby reducing the amount of fat your body absorbs from food. For the best results, it should be used in conjunction with a nutritionally balanced, reduced-calorie diet.
The recommended dosage is one 120-mg capsule three times a day with each main meal containing fat. If a meal is missed or contains no fat, the dose of XENICAL can be omitted. Because the product reduces the absorption of certain fat-soluble vitamins, it is important to maintain proper nutritional balance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should I take XENICAL? The recommended protocol is one 120-mg capsule three times a day with each main meal containing fat (during or up to 1 hour after the meal).
Can I take multivitamins with this supplement? Yes. Because XENICAL may reduce the absorption of some fat-soluble vitamins and betacarotene, it is recommended to take a multivitamin at least 2 hours before or after the administration of XENICAL (such as at bedtime).
나Are there any medication interactions? Patients receiving both XENICAL and levothyroxine therapy should administer the medications at least 4 hours apart. For patients receiving both XENICAL and cyclosporine therapy, administer the cyclosporine 3 hours after XENICAL.
How long does the effect last? Based on fecal fat measurements, the effect of XENICAL is observed as soon as 24 to 48 hours after dosing. Upon discontinuation of therapy, fecal fat content usually returns to pretreatment levels within 48 to 72 hours.
