Click the image to zoom in

Orlistat is a substance used in two well-established weight loss drugs. Xenical, the prescription treatment is administered at 120mg, and alli, the over-the-counter treatment is available in a lower dosage of 60mg. You can take up to three orlistat tablets each day with each fat containing meal to increase your chances of weight loss and prevent further weight gain. The more effective of the two medicines is Xenical, a medication manufactured by Roche and prescribed to people with a body mass index above 30. Xenical orlistat works by blocking fat from daily food intake. Rather than allowing fat consumed via foods to accumulate in the body it is passed through the system undigested via bowel movements. Clinical research concluded that participants using Xenical orlistat with a diet plan lost twice the amount of body weight over a three month period than those using diet alone.

Is Xenical orlistat the same as generic orlistat?

Orlistat is the active ingredient used in Xenical, not a generic version of it. People can become confused when they hear the active ingredient of any drug referred to as the "generic name." In contrast, the generic name is different from a generic version of a medication. A generic version of a medication or treatment can only exist when the original medicine has gone off-patent and another company besides the original manufacturer, in this case, Roche, recreates the drug.

Xenical orlistat dosage

There is only one dose of Xenical orlistat, regardless of your age, weight, or other medical conditions. The recommended dose of Xenical for weight loss or weight maintenance in adults is one orlistat 120mg tablet with each fat containing meal, up to three times daily. Xenical orlistat treatment can also be taken up to an hour after your meal, however delaying treatment any later than one hour after each meal will reduce the effectiveness of Xenical orlistat.

How to use Xenical orlistat treatment

If you skip a meal, or if you eat a meal without fat, you should skip your dosage until your next meal. Xenical orlistat is not intended to be used without food, rather a weight loss aid that is part of an appropriate, long-term diet plan.

Xenical orlistat treatment is known to decrease the absorption of important vitamins from daily food intake. To avoid malnourishment, it is recommended that you take a multivitamin once a day, at least two hours before or after Xenical Orlistat treatment.

How can I obtain Xenical orlistat treatment?
