This FAQ is for information only, and has been compiled
from a number of sources to give an overview of the use
and effects of Xenical. It is not a definitive guide to
the effects or implications of use of Xenical, nor is it
intended replace the advice of qualified healthcare professionals.
If you have any concerns about the use of Xenical or any
possible side-effects, consult your healthcare provider.
Who
should take Xenical? Xenical is indicated
for individuals who are clinically obese (Body Mass Index
or BMI over 30) or who are overweight (BMI between 25 and
30) and have or are at risk from medical conditions which
are related to their weight or body fat, such as diabetes,
high cholesterol, or hypertension.
How
Does Xenical Work? With the exception of
Xenical, all of the current prescription drugs for weight
loss act on the brain to reduce appetite. However, these
drugs may have side effects (central nervous system and
cardiovascular), ranging from minor to severe and are indicated
only for short term use. Importantly, these drugs do little
or nothing to help people change their eating habits or
lifestyles. Therefore, when they stop taking the drugs,
the weight is quickly regained. Xenical, on the other hand,
blocks the digestion and absorption of fat and helps to
control fat intake.
Is
Xenical Addictive? No. Xenical is non-addictive.
When
I Take Xenical, Can I Eat What I Want? Yes
and no. You can eat most of the foods you currently do,
but in smaller amounts. It is recommended that Xenical be
taken in conjunction with a diet that is moderately reduced
in total calories (about 20% - or 600 less calories per
day) and reduced in fat. The daily intake of fat should
be distributed over three main meals throughout the day.
These restrictions are far less than most weight loss diets
and are therefore easier to follow.
Do
I Have To Follow A Fixed Diet with Xenical?
No. As long as you moderately reduce your calories and
fat, there is no specific diet plan.
Do
I Need To Take Vitamin Supplements with Xenical?
If you eat nutritionally balanced meals, rich in fruits
and vegetables, you may not need to take supplements. For
specific diet eating plans, discuss with your doctor.
Do
I Need to Exercise whilst on Xenical? Yes.
Physical activity is necessary for maintaining good health
- but this doesn't mean running miles per day or joining
a gym. Slowly increase your level of physical activity,
for example, walking regularly or swimming.
Does
Xenical Reduce Cholesterol As Well? Yes.
Xenical decreases total cholesterol, decreases LDL (the
so-called harmful or "bad" cholesterol) and improves the
LDL / HDL ratio.
Are
There Other Benefits To Taking Xenical? As
well as reducing weight, Xenical reduces
· high blood pressure
· the amount of anti-diabetic medication required (if already
diabetic)
· body fat
· the chance of developing type II diabetes
How
Fast Will I Lose Weight with Xenical? In
international clinical studies with thousands of patients,
most individuals using Xenical lost on average 10% of their
initial body weight over a 6-8 month period.
How
Much Weight Can I Lose With Xenical? It's
very important to set realistic goals for weight loss, and
remember that even a small weight loss can lead to a big
gain in health. A loss of 5 to 10% of your current weight
can result in significant reductions of risk of disease.
Can
I Start Taking Xenical Immediately? This
depends how quickly you can control your diet so that no
more than one-third of calories come from fat. This start-up
period can be a few days to a few weeks. In this way, you
cut the chances of experiencing the dietary events described
below.
Does
Xenical Have Any Side Effects? Xenical's
side effects are strictly gastrointestinal, and relate to
its blocking the digestion of ingested fat. The fat that
is not absorbed into the gut and bloodstream remains in
the intestine and becomes mixed with the stool. The increased
fat in the stool can cause any of the following:
· gas (flatulence) - sometimes with oily spotting
· increased frequency of bowel movements
· fatty/ oily stool
How often or how quickly these effects occur will vary from
person to person and will depend on how much extra fat was
consumed. They can occur within hours after eating or up
to a day or two later. These side effects usually occur
early in treatment, last for only a short period, and disappear
over time. Remember you can control the amount of fat you
eat: it is not the Xenical that causes these events.
Has
Xenical Been Tested Widely? Xenical is
the most thoroughly tested weight control medicine. Clinical
trials with Xenical were conducted with over 7,000 patients
in North America, South America, and Europe.
Does
Xenical Interact With Other Drugs? Clinical
studies have shown that Xenical does not interact with commonly
used medications. However, before starting Xenical it is essential
that you inform the doctor of any and all medications (prescription
and non-prescription) that you are currently taking.
How
Much Xenical Do I Take? One capsule (120milligrams)
is taken three times daily with each main meal - up two
hours after eating. Taking a capsule with each meal is convenient
and easy to remember.
If
I Take More Than One Xenical Tablet, Do I Get More Results?
No. There is no benefit to taking more than the recommended
dose.
Do
I Have To Take A Xenical Capsule With Every Meal?
If you miss a meal, or your meal contains little fat (note:
be careful of the hidden fats in many foods), there is no
reason to take Xenical, although there is no harm in taking
the capsule. Taking a capsule with each meal helps you to
remember and avoid missing doses.
What
If I Eat More Than Three Meals A Day? In
any event, you should not take more than 3 Xenical capsules
per day.
What
If I Miss Taking A Xenical Capsule With A Meal?
There are no harmful effects at all. You simply miss the
benefit of the medication.
Can
I Overdose On Xenical?
There have been no cases of overdosing. In experiments,
patients who took doses of Xenical many times over the recommended
dose experienced no ill effects - but remember that taking
more Xenical gives no extra benefit.
What
Happens If I Stop Taking Xenical?
Within three days the medication will be out of your system.
There are no long term effects.
Will
I Have To Take Xenical For The Rest Of My Life?
Xenical can help to kick-start weight loss. When you reach
your target weight, you should be able to maintain it through
diet and exercise alone. If, however, you start to regain
weight, you can safely resume taking Xenical. Xenical has
been shown to be safe for up to two years of continuous
use.
