Xenical Roche became one of the most known medication for the weightloss worldwide recently manufactured by the famous Swiss pharmaceutical company Xenical gained its popularity for the real action it provides. Xenical works by blocking enzyme (lipase) which breaks down fats in the food you eat and reduces them to a digestible level.
Xenical is gastrointestinal lipase inhibitor it reduces quantity of digested calories, preventing some fat digestion. Xenical is not absorbed into the blood and, accordingly, does not affect negatively internal organs, does not cause drug habituation.
Xenical is administered:
To suffering from obesity or excess weight and having such diseases, as diabetes, atherosclerosis or arterial hypertension or having risk factors for development of these diseases. Xenical is administered in conjunction with sensible low-calorie diet.
Xenical blocks a fat splitting process; approximately 30 % of the consumed fat are not split and eliminated in your bowel movements. A body, receiving less fat, starts to use the stored body.
At taking Xenical:
First your weight is stabilized, then, if you fully follow the recommendations, your weight can decrease on more than 20 %
All side effects which can occur at taking Xenical are appeared in the bowels, as follows:
- oily discharge from rectum;
- meteorism – excruciating bloating;
- increased number of bowel movements;
- oily bowel movements;
- an inability to control bowel movements.
Pain or discomfort in a stomach, and liquid bowel movements are possible as well. All these effects are caused by blocking of fat. Fat is not absorbed into the blood, mixed with bowel movements. Side effects are more possible, if food contains too much fat. A low-fat diet considerably reduces probability of side effects at Xenical taking. Gradually at long treatment the patients learn to control fats in a diet.
How to take Xenical?
Take one Xenical pill during meals or up to one hour after a meal. If your meal does not contain fats, Xenical can be omitted. Take a glass of water with a pill. You can take up to 3 Xenical pills a day (120 mg/3 times a day); there fore plan your ration and pill taking. If you missed a dose of Xenical, and more than an hour has passed after eating, just take the next pill during or after your next meal. Don’t take a double drug dose.
At Xenical taking the balanced diet with no more than 30 % of fats of general calories is recommended. For example, if a day meal is 2000 kcal/day, fat should not exceed 67 g. A daily fat intake should be divided over three main meals; and Xenical is taken with each meal.
Important: Xenical reduces fat-soluble vitamins absorption as well, consult the doctor, probably it will be necessary to take an extra multivitamin (A, D, E, K and beta carotene). Take vitamins once a day at least 2 hours after Xenical or at bedtime. Do not think that taking Xenical, you can eat fat as much as you want. You won’t lose your weight and will fully experience side effects also.
Xenical is a modern Swiss method to body weight reduction:
- Xenical reduces food fat absorption that leads to stable body weight decrease
- Xenical allows long keeping the reached weight
- Xenical safety has been studied in extensive clinical trials.
The professor Hellmut Diwald about Xenical (Orlistat)
Xenical, unlike food additives, is an official medical drug. Action of Xenical is based on its ability to inhibit enzyme lipase. Lipase is developed in a pancreas and helps to split and absorb fat in a gastrointestinal tract with eaten meal. As a result of Xenical taking, 30 % of consumed fat is not digested. It means that 30 % of consumed fat is not split on the components, not absorbed in bowels, and passes through the gastrointestinal tract and is eliminated in bowel movements.
That is Xenical acts completely opposite to “fat burners”. We would like to underline once again, Xenical affects only fats! Therefore it can be administered only if your diet consists mainly of animal fats. Xenical affects neither absorption of carbohydrates (cakes, sweets, buns, beer, and etc.) nor protein absorption. Therefore, it is absolutely useless to take Xenical, if a significant part of your diet is not animal fats. It will have no effect.
Sometimes I read such letters: “I have decided to lose weight. Now I am taking Xenical and keeping to vegetable food. I lost 3 kg for a week “. In this case, it happened not due to Xenical. Growing thin has occurred due to low-calorie meal. Because, I say again, Xenical affects only fat absorption.
However, that is not it.
Assume, you really eat much fat (anyway you should not, because when you stop taking Xenical, keeping to your usual ration, your lost kilograms will be back very soon) and Xenical taking helps you lose weight. In this case the considerable quantity of fats causes oily discharge from rectum, meteorism, diarrhea, fecal incontinence.
Let’s sum up: Xenical blocks digestion of 30 % of the fats supplied in a meal, but remained 70 % all the same are digested. Xenical is recommended to take only after fat meal. If your meal contains few animal fats to take Xenical is pointless. After taking Xenical the procedure on purgation –hydrocolontherapy is required.
