Xenical works by preventing your body from absorbing about 30% of the fat you consume. This fat is then eliminated through your bowel movements.
Weight loss results vary, but studies show that people using Xenical, combined with a low-calorie diet and exercise, lose more weight than those using diet and exercise alone. Expect to see a noticeable difference on the scale, and improvements in related health markers like blood pressure and cholesterol.
Xenical is most effective when used as part of a comprehensive weight management plan. This means you need to adjust your diet to include lower-fat foods and increase your physical activity. Consult your doctor or a registered dietitian for personalized guidance.
Potential side effects include oily stools, increased bowel movements, and gas. These are usually mild and temporary, but it’s important to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider. They can help you manage these side effects and determine if Xenical is the right choice for you.
Remember, Xenical is a medication to help with weight loss; it’s not a magic bullet. Sustainable weight management requires long-term lifestyle changes. Your doctor can help you devise a plan that incorporates Xenical, diet, and exercise for optimal results.
