What is Xenical?

Xenical capsules contain the active ingredient orlistat, which is a type of medicine called a lipase inhibitor. It is used to aid weight loss in people who are obese.

Xenical (Orlistat) is not absorbed into the bloodstream, but works locally in the stomach and small intestine, where it prevents the action of two compounds found in the digestive juices. These compounds (known as enzymes) are called gastric and pancreatic lipases. They normally break down fats that we consume in our diet.

The fats we consume in our diets are made of molecules that are too large to be absorbed from the gut into the bloodstream. They need to be broken down into smaller molecules during the process of digestion, in order to be absorbed into the bloodstream. Gastric and pancreatic lipases are the compounds in the gut that carry out this function.

How Xenical works

Xenical works by preventing gastric and pancreatic lipases from working. It is taken at mealtimes to prevent fat that is eaten in the meals from being broken down and absorbed by the body. This means the body cannot use the fat as a source of energy, or convert it into fat tissue. Instead, the fat is excreted in the faeces. This helps weight loss.

Xenical is prescribed to aid weight loss in obese people who have a body mass index (BMI) of 30kg/m² or more. It can also be prescribed to overweight people who have a BMI of 28kg/m² or more, if they also have additional risk factors for obesity-related diseases.

Xenical should be used in conjunction with a mildly low calorie diet. Ask your doctor, pharmacist or dietician for advice on what to eat while taking orlistat. Your doctor may ask you to stop treatment if you have been unable to lose at least five per cent of your body weight after 12 weeks of treatment.

Attention

We are sorry to report that there are manufacturing difficulties for Xenical and we have been advised that new stock may not be available "for a couple of months". We have been successful in securing supply of generic orlistat manufactured by TEVA to UK quality standards, and we will supply this product instead of Xenical, once supplies of Xenical run out.
