Orlistat (Xenical®) Weight Management Capsules
Orlistat (Xenical®) is a lipase inhibitor that prevents approximately 1/3 of the fat in food consumed from being absorbed by the body. Alongside healthy lifestyle changes, it can aid in weight loss. Xenical® is the branded version of Orlistat and is taken in the form of capsules with each meal.
To qualify for this treatment, you must have a BMI of 30 or above (or 28 and over with other associated risk factors)
The tablets are typically taken three times a day during a 12-week plan that includes dietary changes and exercise. You should aim to lose 5% of your body weight during this period.
