Xenical Information
Xenical (Orlistat)
Xenical (Orlistat) can considerably help overweight people lose weight. It has been clinically tested and proven to work. Xenical in conjunction with a normal diet helps you in achieving weight loss. Pharmaceutical company, Roche is the manufacturer of Xenical Orlistat. Xenical helps you in finding that support which you can't find in a pill alone for easy weight loss.
This is how Xenical works. If you eat excessive amounts of fat or calories, the excess is stored as fat by the body, resulting in weight gain. Xenical blocks one third of the fat in the food you eat from being digested.
Xenical acts as "fat inhibitor". When you eat fat your body breaks it down into simple components so that it can be digested. Unlike other weight loss treatments that work in the brain or central nervous system to suppress appetite or speed up metabolism, Xenical works in the stomach and small intestine but is not absorbed into the bloodstream. The undigested fat cannot be absorbed and is eliminated in your bowel movements.
When taken with meals, Xenical attaches itself to the lipases which are enzymes in digestive system and help digest or break down fat. Xenical blocks them from breaking down some of the fat you have eaten. Xenical contains Orlistat as the active ingredient which inhibits the action of the naturally occurring lipases and blocks absorption of dietary fat.
Xenical is prescribed to treat obese people with a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 30kg/m2. Xenical should only be used in conjunction with a low calorie diet. Your doctor may ask you to stop taking Xenical if you have been unable to lose at least five per cent of your body weight after 12 weeks of treatment.
