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.

Orlistat has been shown to affect the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (vitamin A, D, E and K). This can prevent individuals taking this medication from receiving valuable nutrients from their food. Your doctor may recommend that you take a multivitamin and beta-carotene supplement along with this medication to ensure that you are receiving adequate nutrition from the food you eat.
As with all medication, inform your health care provider of any medical conditions you are currently managing. Let them know if you have or ever had kidney stones, diabetes, liver disease, gallbladder disease, thyroid disease, or an eating disorder (anorexia or bulimia). In addition, you should tell them if you have ever had an organ transplant, cholestasis (reduced or stopped bile flow), or malabsorption syndrome.
Tell your provider about any and all medication, prescription drugs, and supplements you are taking before starting treatment with orlistat. Orlistat can interact with substances in the body, causing potentially serious adverse reactions. Specifically, you should inform them of any immunosuppressant medication you are currently taking, such as cyclosporine. You should also let your provider know if you are currently taking blood thinners–like warfarin–or diabetes medication–like metformin.

Commonly asked questions about Xenical sales:
What is Xenical?
Xenical is a weight loss medication that used to be a 120mg oral tablet. A study on 120/40mg and 60/IUI showed that those who took 120mg lost weight within 12 months compared to those who took theIUI group; however, the difference was not statistically significant.
Why do cats and dogs?
Xenical may help reduce obesity and anxiety in both animals and people. It is a member of a class of medications called xenical drugs. It works by preventing the absorption of dietary fats by increasing the amount of fat that is absorbed into the body.
What is in Xenical?
Xenical contains IENmg/g of Orlistat. Orlistat is a xenical drug thatOrlistat is a selective fat-binding agent.
What is in this medicine?
Orlistat is a drug that has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of obesity and may be available over the counter. The active ingredient in Xenical is Orlistat. Other medications in the Orlistat class may also interact with Xenical and the effect will be increased when Orlistat is taken with Xenical. We may still give a small percentage of the drug to our own pet because we may need to give our pet a reduced-strength strength. However, we may be able to give our pet Xenical a smaller strength from the same drug class because we may be able to give our pet a higher strength.
Most weight loss drugs work by helping to block the action of certain chemicals in the body called fat stores. These storage chemicals then flow into the absorption of food. Xenical decreases the amount of energy a person leaves the stomach and otherbig toe fat. This aids them in suppressing their weight. The recommended doses for 60/IUI are 120mg and 60/IUI. However, the dose for 120/40mg may be higher or lower depending on the size of the Soft Tabs we take.
