Xenical capsules for weight loss

How does Xenical work?

Xenical weight loss capsules work by stopping around a third of the fat in the food you eat from being digested. This fat is then expelled from your body in your stools rather than absorbed. This is because Xenical works by attaching itself to the enzymes in your digestive system and blocking them from breaking down some of the fat you have eaten.

Xenical capsules only work if you have eaten some fat in your meal. If you miss a meal, or your meal doesn’t contain any fat, there’s no need to take a dose of Xenical.

Xenical capsules have common side effects like oily stools and an increased need to open the bowels. This is normal and is a side effect of the fat being expelled from your body.

How long does Xenical take to work?

It can take up to 12 weeks for Xenical to work. You may notice weight loss before this, but your doctor will recommend taking it for 12 weeks to begin with.

If you have not lost 5% of your body weight after taking Xenical for 12 weeks, your doctor will stop your prescription and may recommend an alternative weight loss treatment.

How to take Xenical

Always follow your doctor’s instructions about how to take Xenical:

• Take one 120mg capsule with each of your 3 main meals, as long as they contain some fat. Never take more than 3 capsules per day.
• The capsule can be taken just before, during, or up to an hour after you have eaten.
• Swallow the capsule whole, with water.

It’s advised by the manufacturer to eat a well-balanced, calorie-controlled diet with an average of 30% of your calories being from fat which should be split evenly between 3 meals.

Xenical works in the presence of dietary fat. This means you should:

• avoid eating foods that have a high fat content (such as butter, cheese, chocolate) between meals; this is because you will not have taken Xenical in these periods, so all the fat in the food you eat will be absorbed into your body
• not take Xenical if you skip a meal or eat a meal with no fat in it; this is because there will be no fat in your system for Xenical to work on

What should I do if I forget a dose?

If it has been less than an hour since you ate, take your dose when you remember. buy xenical online

If it has been more than an hour, wait until your next meal and take your dose as usual. Do not take a double dose as this could increase the risk of side effects and won’t make you lose more weight.
