Dietary fats are large molecules that need to be broken down before they can be absorbed into the body. They are broken down by enzymes called lipases. That is, lipases play an important role in the digestion of dietary fat. When taken with a meal, Xenical interferes with the activity of these enzymes. This allows about 30% of the fat eaten in the meal to pass through the gut undigested. Therefore, your body cannot store these excess calories as fatty tissue or use them as a source of energy. This helps you to reduce your weight by burning up fat that you are already carrying, maintain your lower weight and minimise any weight regain. Losing even small amounts of weight and keeping it off produces additional health benefits for you, especially when you are at risk for other diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. Xenical can also help to improve risk factors, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high blood sugar. If these are not treated, they could lead to other diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. Xenical should be taken in conjunction with a well-balanced calorie-controlled diet and other appropriate measures such as exercise.Active Ingredients:Xenical does not contain sucrose, gluten, tartrazine or any other azo dyes.

Product ReviewXenical is the brand name for Orlistat, a lipase inhibitor. It blocks a specific enzyme in the digestive system - lipases - which break down fat in the food you eat. This blocks about 30% of the fat you consume, which reduces the absorption of some lipids and carbohydrates and increases the satiety and, ultimately, weight loss. Xenical works by blocking the absorption of dietary fat, triglycerides and sodium your body makes. It also decreases the absorption of sugars and fats. Therefore, Xenical is thought to block the fat that you make and thus reduce the calorie intake needed to achieve weight loss.
Xenical can cause side effects in some people. These symptoms may include:
If you experience any serious or persistent side effects, you should seek medical attention immediately.
