Take one Xenical 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat. This means you’ll take a capsule with breakfast, lunch, and dinner if these meals contain fat. Omit the dose if a meal is fat-free.
Consistency is key. Take Xenical regularly as directed by your doctor. Don’t skip doses or alter the prescribed amount without consulting them.
Xenical works by blocking the absorption of about 30% of dietary fat. Your body will then excrete this fat, leading to weight loss.
Remember, Xenical is most effective when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Consider incorporating a balanced meal plan and a regular exercise routine for optimal results.
Breakfast (with fat) | 1 capsule |
