What is Xenical?
Xenical is a prescription-only weight loss medication that helps people suffering from obesity to lose weight when dieting and exercise alone have been unsuccessful. Xenical pills can be prescribed for patients who have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or over, or 28 or over if there are other risk factors present, such as heart disease, diabetes or smoking.
Xenical 120mg capsules contain the active ingredient orlistat, which prevents around a third of the fat you eat from being absorbed into your body. The medication was first developed by Roche and became available in 1998. It has since been used safely for over 25 years to provide support with weight loss for those who struggle with their weight.
You take one Xenical 120mg capsule up to three times daily, with or up to one hour after each main meal. If you eat a fat-free meal, skip a meal or have a small snack instead, you do not need to take Xenical, as there will be no fat to absorb.
How do Xenical Capsules work?
Xenical uses the active ingredient orlistat, which works to aid weight loss by blocking the enzymes in your gut that digest fat. Orlistat blocks around a third of the fat you consume from being absorbed. This fat is then passed out with your stools.
We know the path to weight loss isn't just about taking a pill; it's a whole lifestyle change. That's why Xenical offers the best results when complemented by a balanced diet and regular physical activity—because you deserve comprehensive care. However, you do not need to take a dose of Xenical if there is no fat contained within your food.

- Bloating or wind
- Oily, fatty, orange or liquid stools
These potential side effects are most common at the start of treatment and are most likely to occur after eating a high-fat meal. You should try to restrict your intake of dietary fat to less than 15 – 20g per main meal to decrease the chances of these side effects.

How to take Xenical
Take 1 capsule (120mg) up to 3 times daily. Xenical should be taken immediately before or up to one hour after meals.
If you have a low-fat meal or skip the main meal, there is no need to take Xenical; it only works when you have eaten a meal containing dietary fat.
Your doctor will discontinue the weight loss treatment with Xenical after 12 weeks if you have not lost at least 5% of your body weight, as measured at the start of treatment with Xenical.
