Xenical Description
What is Xenical?
Xenical is the brand name for orlistat. It comes in 120 mg capsules. Each capsule works in the gut to block about a third of the fat from your meal from being absorbed. The unabsorbed fat leaves the body in your stool. In Australia, Xenical is used as part of a weight‑management plan with a lower‑fat diet and regular activity.
How Xenical works
Orlistat targets the fat you eat rather than your whole metabolism. It binds to pancreatic lipase, an enzyme that helps break down fat. When lipase is blocked, some fat isn’t absorbed and is excreted. This can help with weight loss when you combine it with healthier eating and exercise.
Using Xenical in Australia
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before you start. In Australia, Xenical is available through registered channels with appropriate guidance. The usual dosing is one 120 mg capsule with each main meal that contains fat, up to three times a day. If a meal has little or no fat, you can skip that dose. Swallow the capsule with a full glass of water. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
What to expect and practical tips
Weight loss varies between people. Those who stick to a balanced, lower‑fat diet while staying active tend to see better results in the first few months. You may notice changes in bowel movements, especially when you start or increase Xenical. A practical tip in Australia is to pace fat intake through meals — aim for a moderate amount of fat per meal rather than a very fatty meal occasionally.
Side effects and safety
Common side effects relate to the digestive tract: oily or soft stools, more frequent bowel movements, or gas with discharge. These usually improve after a few weeks. If you notice persistent yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, or severe abdominal pain, seek medical help — this could indicate a liver issue, though it is rare. Do not use Xenical if you are pregnant or breastfeeding without medical advice.
Interactions and nutrients
Xenical can affect absorption of fat‑soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. It may interact with certain medicines, so tell your doctor about all medicines and supplements you take. A common approach is to take a multivitamin at least two hours before or after Xenical. Always follow professional medical advice about drug interactions.
Australian considerations and online pharmacy tips
When buying Xenical online in Australia, choose a licensed provider with a registered pharmacist available for questions. Check that a valid prescription is required and that the site follows privacy and medicine‑safety rules. Look for the ARTG (Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods) number on packaging or product details. Compare pack sizes and typical Australian prices. Read the patient information leaflet for dosing and storage. Store capsules at room temperature, away from moisture and heat.
