Ostrzeżenia

Xenical is contraindicated in people allergic to orlistat or any other ingredient in the medication. It is also not recommended in cases of chronic malabsorption syndrome, cholestasis (liver disorder), or if you are breastfeeding.

Using Xenical can cause changes in bowel habits, and it is essential to follow a nutritional program as recommended by your doctor. The medication may interact with certain drugs and disrupt anticonvulsant treatment, leading to seizures. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should avoid Xenical.

Najczęściej zadawane pytania

How does Orlistat work?

Orlistat inhibits the action of lipase enzymes, preventing the breakdown and absorption of dietary fats. This results in reduced calorie intake.

How should Orlistat be taken?

Orlistat is typically administered three times daily alongside meals that include fat. If you miss a meal or consume one without fat, you can omit that dose of Orlistat.

Can I take Orlistat while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Orlistat is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication in these conditions.

Will Orlistat help me lose weight on its own?

Orlistat aids in weight loss when combined with a diet low in calories and fats, plus regular exercise. It prevents your body from absorbing a portion of the fat from your meals. However, it's not effective on its own; adopting healthy lifestyle habits is crucial for it to work as part of a broader weight management plan.

How much extra weight can I expect to lose?

Orlistat is clinically proven to boost your weight loss efforts. A general rule of thumb is that for every 2 kilograms you lose through your own diet and exercise, Orlistat can help you lose another 1 kilogram. It acts as a multiplier for your hard work, helping you reach your goals faster than dieting alone.
