Gastrointestinal Issues: Expect changes in bowel habits. You might experience oily stools, more frequent bowel movements, and gas. Drink plenty of water and follow a balanced, lower-fat diet to minimize these effects. Consider smaller, more frequent meals.
Nutrient Absorption: Xenical can reduce the absorption of some fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K). Discuss with your doctor if you need a multivitamin supplement to compensate.
Medication Interactions: Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Xenical may interact with some medications.
Headaches and Fatigue: Some users report mild headaches and fatigue. These side effects are usually temporary. Stay hydrated and get enough rest. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.
Liver Function: Rare cases of liver damage have been reported. Regular check-ups with blood tests are recommended to monitor liver function, particularly if you have pre-existing liver conditions.
Remember: Xenical is most effective when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Consult your doctor before starting Xenical, especially if you have underlying health conditions.
