Xenical Orlistat 120 mg Capsules – Pharmacist-Only Weight Management Medicine (84 Count)

Xenical Orlistat 120 mg Capsules are a pharmacist-only weight management medicine designed to support weight loss as part of a comprehensive program. When used alongside a low-fat diet and regular physical activity, orlistat works by reducing the amount of fat your body absorbs from meals.

• Active ingredient and mechanism: Orlistat 120 mg per capsule acts as a lipase inhibitor to lower fat absorption from meals.
• Package size and dosing: 84 capsules per pack, suitable for a typical 28-day cycle with the standard three daily doses.
• Indication and BMI guidance: Intended for adults with BMI 30+; may be appropriate for BMI 25+ pursuing health goals under pharmacist or clinician guidance.
• Administration: Take with main meals that contain fat; if a meal is skipped or has no fat, omit that dose for that meal.
• Safety and interactions: Use under pharmacist supervision; discuss potential interactions with fat-soluble vitamins and cardiovascular medications.
• Common digestive effects: May cause oily stools, flatulence with oily discharge, or urgent bowel movements, especially after fatty meals; monitor and consult if persistent.

Xenical is designed to complement a calorie-controlled diet and regular activity as part of a broader weight management plan. By limiting fat absorption, it can support gradual weight management when used as directed and paired with lifestyle changes. The capsules are straightforward to incorporate into daily routines with meals that include fat, and a healthcare professional can tailor dosing to fit individual health goals.
