Xenical® Appetite Suppressant - Oral. Tablets 120mg Xenical uses: Xenical is a prescription weight-control medication useful for the long-term treatment of significant obesity. How to take Xenical medication: Xenical is taken with each meal (three times daily). Your daily fat intake should be divided equally between these three meals so you will benefit from Xenical's actions. Xenical should be swallowed with water. Xenical side effects: Loose stools and increased gas or flatulence. These symptoms are generally mild, occur at the beginning of treatment, go away after a short period of time and are particularly experienced after meals containing high levels of fat. Normally, these symptoms disappear if you continue treatment and keep to your recommended diet. Xenical precautions: Xenical can cause changes in your bowel habits, such as fatty or oily stools, due to the elimination of undigested fat in your stool. Xenical reduces the absorption of supplements of some fat soluble nutrients, particularly beta-carotene and vitamin E. You should therefore follow your doctor's advice in taking a well balanced diet rich in fruit and vegetables. Xenical drug interactions: Contraindications Allergy to Xenical or chronic malabsorption syndromes such as sprue or steatorrhea. Xenical is not intended to be used in children or pregnant and nursing women. Xenical notes: Allergy to Xenical or chronic malabsorption syndromes such as sprue or steatorrhea. Xenical is not intended to be used in children or pregnant and nursing women. Missed dose: If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not double the Xenical dosage to catch up. Xenical storage: Store at room temperature away from sunlight and moisture. Keep Xenical and all medications out of the reach of children. |
