Xenical

What is it?

Composition

The composition of Xenical is carefully designed to ensure maximum effectiveness in weight loss. The main active ingredient of the drug is orlistat. Due to its properties, orlistat prevents the action of lipases, enzymes that break down fats in the intestine. This contributes to the fact that approximately 30% of dietary fats are not absorbed into the body, but are excreted naturally. The unique formulation of the drug allows it to work effectively, minimally affecting other body systems.

• Orlistat
• Magnesium stearate
• Gelatin
• Microcrystalline cellulose
• Concentrated reddish-brown liquid

These components ensure not only the effectiveness of the drug, but also its safety during long-term use.

How to use?

To achieve the best results, there are several important rules to consider when taking Xenical. First, it is recommended to take the drug strictly as directed by your doctor. This will help to avoid unnecessary risks and ensure maximum benefit from its use.

1. Xenical should be taken during main meals containing fat. The maximum dose is three capsules per day.
2. If you skipped a meal or it was low-fat, you should not take the dose.
3. Since Xenical can reduce the absorption of some vitamins, it is recommended to take a multivitamin once a day before bed.

These simple rules will help you use the drug correctly and reduce the risk of unwanted side effects.

How does it work?

Xenical works through a mechanism of action aimed at preventing the absorption of fats in the body. Instead of suppressing appetite, the drug blocks the enzymes responsible for breaking down fats in the intestines. This results in a significant portion of the fats consumed with food not being absorbed into the blood and being excreted from the body naturally. Thus, Xenical helps to reduce body weight and maintain the new weight, minimizing the chances of regaining weight.

In addition to its main function of weight loss, Xenical also helps to improve risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and blood sugar. This complex action makes it an integral part of the comprehensive therapy of obesity and related metabolic disorders.
