Xenical - is it for you?

Xenical is a drug that aids weight loss. Principally it is for the clinically obese, those who are overweight and those whose weight causes medical complications, such as diabetes and sufferers from high cholesterol. If you are unsure as to whether this means you, you should check your body mass index. Overweight is a Body Mass Index (BMI) of over 30. Xenical is NOT for use as a general slimming aid.

How does it work?

Xenical stops the absorption of fat and controls fat intake.

Additional benefits of Xenical are:

· Reduces cholesterol (improves the LDL/HDL ratio)
· Reduces high blood pressure
· Reduces the amount of anti-diabetic medication required
· Reduces body fat.

Dosage

One capsule (120mg) is to be conveniently taken with each main meal three times a day.

No benefit whatsoever is derived from increasing this dosage. The convenience of taking a capsule with each main meal is to enable you to remember to take the correct dosage. Should your meal contain very little fat then Xenical will be of little benefit, but not harmful. Under no circumstances should you take more than three Xenical capsules per day, although accidental over-dosage has had no proven side effects. Should you forget to take a dose, simply continue as usual, taking a capsule with your next main meal.

Discontinuing your Xenical treatment

Xenical is non-addictive. After you stop taking Xenical your system will be free of any traces of the medication after three days. Xenical aids weight loss and should not be taken permanently. When you are satisfied with your weight loss sensible eating and exercise should take over where Xenical left off. Should you require using Xenical again you may. Tests have shown that it is safe for up to two years continuous use.
