Description
Xenical is a weight
control medication for the management of significant obesity. Xenical
targets the absorption of fat in your body rather than suppressing your
appetite. Dietary fats are large molecules, which need to be broken
down by enzymes called lipases before they can be absorbed into the
body. When taken with a meal, Xenical interferes with the activity of
these enzymes. This allows about 30% of the fat eaten in the meal to
pass through the gut undigested. Your body therefore cannot convert
these excess calories to fatty tissue or use them as a source of
energy. This will therefore help you to reduce your weight,maintain
your lower weight and minimise any weight regain.
Xenical
is a prescription weight-control medication useful for the long-term
treatment of significant obesity. Xenical can also help to improve risk
factors, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high blood
sugar which, if not treated, could lead to other diseases such as
hypertension and diabetes.
