How does Xenical work?

Xenical is a weight loss pill that targets the absorption of fat in your body rather than suppresing your appetite. It is recommended for long term use and has been shown to be effective for one to two years. Dietary fats are inhibited from being absorbed and this allows about 30% of the fat eaten in your meal to pass through the gut undigested. This helps to reduce and maintain your weight as well as to minimize any weight regain.

How to take Xenical:

Take one capsule of Xenical three times daily with each main meal - up two hours after eating. Taking a capsule with each meal is convenient and easy to remember.

How effective is Xenical?

Data from multiple trials indicated that weight loss averaged 12.4 lbs. to 13.4 lbs. in patients taking Xenical. Overall 57% of treated patients lost over 5% of their base-line body weight. Those on Xenical showed a decrease in total blood cholesterol and LDL cholesterol. This form of cholesterol acts to promote the deposition of fatty plaques along the walls of arteries. There was an increase in HDL cholesterol (high density cholesterol). This form of cholesterol acts to inhibit the deposition of fatty plaques along the walls of arteries. 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 long should I take Xenical?

Unlike any other prescription diet pill, Xenical can be safely taken for up to two years. One of the benefits is that while you lose weight, you are changing your eating habits and lifestyle. By the time you have reached your goal, you may be able to maintain your weight through diet and exercise alone. If, however, you start to regain weight, you can safely resume taking Xenical. Xenical can become part of your long-term weight maintenance program.
