Dietary fats are large molecules that need to be broken down before they can be absorbed into the body. They are broken down by enzymes called lipases. That is, lipases play an important role in the digestion of dietary fat. When taken with a meal, Xenical interferes with the activity of these enzymes. This allows about 30% of the fat eaten in the meal to pass through the gut undigested. Therefore, your body cannot store these excess calories as fatty tissue or use them as a source of energy. This helps you to reduce your weight by burning up fat that you are already carrying, maintain your lower weight and minimise any weight regain. Losing even small amounts of weight and keeping it off produces additional health benefits for you, especially when you are at risk for other diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. Xenical can also help to improve risk factors, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high blood sugar. If these are not treated, they could lead to other diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. Xenical should be taken in conjunction with a well-balanced calorie-controlled diet and other appropriate measures such as exercise.Active Ingredients:Xenical does not contain sucrose, gluten, tartrazine or any other azo dyes.

Xenical (orlistat) is an innovative weight loss medication that aids individuals in managing obesity by inhibiting the absorption of dietary fats in the intestine. Obesity is a significant health concern that increases the risk of various conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension. Xenical offers a unique approach to weight management by preventing the breakdown and absorption of about 30% of the fat consumed in a meal, which is then excreted from the body. This reduction in fat absorption helps lower overall caloric intake, making it easier for individuals to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle. When combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise, Xenical can significantly improve weight loss outcomes and reduce obesity-related health risks. It is a valuable tool for those struggling with weight management, providing support and efficacy in achieving long-term weight loss goals.

It does this by inhibiting the absorption of about 30% of the fat consumed in a meal. This reduction in fat absorption helps alleviate symptoms of obesity including high blood pressure, diarrhea, and constipation. Xenical is also recommended to support the maintenance of a healthy weight when combined with a balanced diet and regular physical exercise.

Orlistat is a prescription-only weight loss medication. It’s available at pharmacies in the UK and other EU countries.
Read on to learn more about our range of weight loss medications.
Orlistat is an oral medication designed to assist in weight loss. It works by inhibiting the enzyme lipase, which is responsible for breaking down dietary fats.
This prevents the absorption of dietary fats from the body, reducing their amount and potentially reducing the amount of fat that is absorbed. It is generally considered to be the first-line treatment for obesity and is commonly used to help lose weight in conjunction with diet and exercise.
Orlistat works by targeting the body’s lipases, which are responsible for breaking down dietary fats. By inhibiting lipases, Xenical prevents the breakdown of dietary fats, making them less effective at breaking down fat. This means that the dietary fat you eat won’t be absorbed by your body and can be passed on to your other organs.
You should also be aware that Xenical does not work immediately when you stop using the medication, and it may take a few weeks for the full effect to be felt.
Orlistat should be taken one hour before or after meals. It can be taken with or without food.
