Xenical (the brand name for Orlistat) diet pills are in a class of drugs that work by preventing fat absorption in some of the food you eat which in turn blocks calories. While Xenical can give you a boost you should also eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly.  Xenical comes in capsule form and the typical dosage amount is 120 milligrams.

Orlistat is mostly commonly used for the management of obesity including weight loss and weight maintenance along with a reduced-calorie diet. Exercise is essential to any diet program along with taking any diet pills for maximum weight loss and health.

Prior to taking Xenical you should visit your doctor and go over the pros and cons of taking a diet pill to help achieve your weight loss goals.

How does Xenical work?

Xenical works by inhibiting the enzyme lipase that is used in the absorption of dietary fats in the stomach and small intestine. This medication effectively deactivates the digestion of fats in the food you eat. As the undigested fats are not absorbed, this has a positive effect on your weight control efforts.

Xenical inhibits the enzyme lipase that helps in the absorption of dietary fats in the stomach and the small intestine. The Xenical diet pills effectively inactivate the enzyme involved in the digestion of fats. As undigested fats are not absorbed, the resulting caloric deficit has a positive effect on weight control. Absorption of the drug is therefore not needed for activity. Therefore, systemic exposure to Xenical is minimal.

When taking Xenical it may decrease your body’s absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. To be sure you are receiving proper nutrition your doctor might also suggest taking a multivitamin supplement daily that contains vitamins D, E, K and beta- carotene while taking this medication.
