Xenical Frequently Asked Questions
How do you lose weight with Xenical? Xenical frequently asked questions answered here.
What is Orlistat (Xenical®) used for?
Orlistat (Xenical®) is a peripherally acting anti-obesity agent. It is effective in long-term weight control (weight loss, weight management and prevention of weight regain). It works by targeting the absorption of dietary fat in your body rather than suppressing your appetite. This allows about 30% of the fat eaten in the meal to pass through the gut undigested. Therefore, your body cannot store these excess calories as fatty tissue or use them as a source of energy. This helps you to reduce your weight by burning up fat that you are already carrying, maintain your lower weight and minimize any weight regain.
How does Orlistat (Xenical®) work?
Xenical is a fat eliminator. In other words, it blocks some of the fat that is in your food from being digested and absorbed by your body. This is the “Xenical Action”. The undigested fat is eliminated in your bowel movements as oil thus preventing it from forming fatty deposits around your waist, hips and thighs.
How do I know Orlistat (Xenical®) is working?
After a few days of taking Xenical you may notice oil in your bowel movements. This is the beginning of the “Xenical Action” eliminating fat. Over time as your system adjusts to Xenical, the oil may slow up or even go away. Oily bowel movements will re-occur after eating meals high in fat.
Are there any side effects?
The majority of unwanted effects related to Orlistat (Xenical®) use result from its local action in your digestive system. These known side effects may be increased flatulence, abdominal pain, urgent need to move the bowels, oily, fatty or liquid stools, and oily discharge from anus. Normally, these symptoms disappear if you continue treatment and keep to your recommended diet. These symptoms are generally mild, occurring at the beginning of treatment, and goes away after a short period of time and are particularly experienced after meals containing high levels of fat.
Other uncommon side effects may include nausea, indigestion, headache and tiredness. Do not be alarmed by these possible side effects. You may not experience any of them. Consult your doctor as needed, when symptoms persist.
What are the ingredients in Orlistat (Xenical®)?
Orlistat (Xenical®) does not contain surcrose, gluten, tartrazine or any other azo dyes.

- Warfarin or other anticoagulants, medicines that prevent blood clots
For other medicines you might be taking, get advice from your doctor before you take Orlistat (Xenical®).

The recommended dose of Orlistat (Xenical®) for individuals 12 or more years of age is one 120 mg capsule taken by mouth three times a day.
Taking more than the recommended does will not provide an additional benefit. You can also take Vitamins A, D and E with Orlistat (Xenical®).
How do I take Orlistat (Xenical®)?
Orlistat (Xenical®) should be taken with a well-balanced calorie controlled diet that is rich in fruit and vegetables and contains an average of 30% calories from fat. Your daily intake of fat, carbohydrate and protein should be distributed over 3 main meals. To gain the most benefit, avoid eating food containing fat between meals, such as biscuits, chocolate or savory snacks. Look out for fats in foods by reading all food labels. Your fat intake may also be reduced by removing all fat from meat. Be careful not to replace the fat in your diet with large quantities of other foods, such as sugar and alcohol.
Because increased exercise will help weight loss, it is advisable to follow a regular exercise program, such as walking and swimming. Seek expert advice regarding your best exercise program.
When do I take Orlistat (Xenical®)?
Take 1 capsule Orlistat (Xenical®) with a glass of water with each of the 3 main meals per day. This means that you will usually take one capsule at breakfast, lunch and dinner. It can be taken during the meal or up to 1 hour after the meal is consumed. If you miss a main meal or if you know that the meal contains no fat, then Orlistat (Xenical®) need not be taken.
How long do I take Orlistat (Xenical®)?
Orlistat (Xenical®) should be taken every day to be effective. You can take Orlistat (Xenical®) from 2 to 4 years. Weight loss normally starts within 2 weeks and continues for 6 to 12 months on Orlistat (Xenical®) treatment. Orlistat (Xenical®) will then help you to maintain this new lower weight and help to prevent weight being regained.
What happens if I miss a dose of Orlistat (Xenical®)?
If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the dose you missed and take your next dose when you are meant to. Otherwise, take it as soon as you remember provided this is within 1 hour of your last meal and then go back to taking it as you would normally.
Do not double a dose to make up for one you have missed.
What are the things to remember while I am taking Orlistat (Xenical®)?
To gain the most benefit from Orlistat (Xenical®) you should follow the nutrition program recommended by an expert. As with any weight-control program, over-consumption of fat and calories may counteract any weight loss effect.

Hi,
Can xenical help in flushing out the stored fat in the body? Also, i am taking meal replacement shakes twice a day along with one full meal. Can i take xenical along with the meal replacement shakes? Or with just the full meal?
Thank,
Ree
Hi Ree! Thank you for your question. Xenical works in the presence of dietary fat in the body and reduces the absorption of dietary fat by approximately 30%. Because the body is absorbing fewer calories, it will naturally burn the stored fat in the body for energy, which will result in body fat reduction provided that you maintain a balanced diet and regular physical activity. On a different note, Xenical can be taken up to 3 times a day during your 3 main meals or one hour after eating. We recommend consulting a dietitian if you are unsure of the fat content of your meal replacement shakes.

i took xenical for over 5 months. i can’t control my dinner to reduce and drinkalot of alcohole at dinner . and i gain weight over 30lb. pls advice me the side effect of drink alcohole and take xenical.. pls
Hi Jorh, thank you for your question. It was shown in a study of healthy men drinking alcohol-containing drinks, that the use of Xenical can increase the gastric-emptying time, leading to initial elevation of blood alcohol in the body. However, this effect is relatively modest. In any case, alcohol consumption should be kept in moderation, preferably one to two drinks per week. Thank you.
If i would only take one capsule a day, will it still be effective? or will i be able to see the result after a week of taking Xenical?
Hi Nikki, thank you for your message. The recommended dosage of Xenical is up to 3x a day together with meals. Xenical targets fat. By blocking one third of the fat from the food you eat, it blocks the digestion and absorption of fat and helps you to control your fat intake for that particular meal. Based on several studies when combined with lifestyle changes, such as healthy diet and exercise, weight loss was apparent within 2 weeks of initiation of treatment and continued for duration of 6 to 12 months. Thank you.

If ever I take xenical, will I be frequenting the toilet? What if we’re on a road trip and I took xenical? Thanks!
Hi Mae, Xenical’s side effects are strictly gastrointestinal in nature and related to its action of blocking the digestion of ingested fat, like oily spotting, increased frequency of bowel movements or fatty/oily stool. How often or how quickly these effects occur will vary from person to person and will depend on how much extra fat was consumed. These side effects usually occur early in treatment, last for only a short period, and disappear over time. You can control these effects if you control your fat intake. Remember: it’s not Xenical, it’s the fat you eat that causes these events. Thank you.

I play badminton twice a week, before the game i take energy drink. May side effect po ba kung magti take ako ng xenical?
Hi Cely, Xenical’s side effects are strictly gastrointestinal in nature and related to its action of blocking the digestion of ingested fat. It eliminates fats from the food you eat. The fat that is not absorbed into the bloodstream remains in the intestine and becomes mixed with the stool. Having an active lifestyle and a low calorie diet will definitely help you achieve your desired weight more effectively.
hi. thanks for this q&a. very informative.
i just like to ask a question. is it less effective or not at all if Xenical is taken twice or once a day only?
Hi Jkh, the recommended dosage of Xenical is up to 3x a day together with main meals. If you miss a dose, you simply lose the potential benefit of Xenical in blocking one third of the fat in the food you eat at that meal. Thank you.

Hello, Donna!
You can take Xenical until you achieve your weight loss goal. Please also keep in mind that if you miss a meal or if know that your meal contains no fat, you do not have to take Xenical. If you forget to take a dose, skip that dose and just the take the next one instead. Also, do not double a dose to make up for the one you have missed. Taking more than the recommended dosage does not provide additional benefit
Thank you for choosing Xenical as your partner in your weight loss journey!
Im a regular student and taking my classes monday to saturday. Can i still use xenical? Can you recommend me the dosage i have to take in using this brand? Thank you.
Hello, Marjorie!
Xecinal can be taken by overweight individuals from age 12 and older who are ready to make a change to a reduced-calorie and low-fat diet. Take 1 capsule of Xenical with a glass of water every breakfast, lunch and dinner. It can be taken during the meal or after 1 hour after the meal is consumed. If you miss a meal or if know that your meal contains no fat, you do not have to take Xenical.
ok lang po ba kung isang beses lang uminom ng xenical sa isang araw? i mean isang capsule a day? kasi mahal e kaya isa lang per day, with exercise naman lunch lang at light mirienda ang kakainin?
Hi Poala!
Thank you for choosing Xenical as your partner in your weight loss journey!
The recommended dosage of Xenical is 3 times a day. However, keep in mind that if you miss a meal or if know that your meal contains no fat, you do not have to take Xenical. If you forget to take a dose, skip that dose and just the take the next one instead. Also, do not double a dose to make up for the one you have missed. Taking more than the recommended dosage does not provide additional benefit. When combined with lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, weight loss was apparent within 2 weeks of initiation of treatment and continued for duration of 6 to 12 months.
Hi. Pwedi ko ba itake ang memo plus at xenical together ? Yung during the meal ba pwedi rin ba un right after ko matapos ng pagkain.? Pang 2nd day ko plang uminom. Ngtatae na ako after ko kumaen and pero wala naman ako makita g oily stool ? Possible ba na merun na yun kht 2nd day ko palang? Pang 3 capsule ko kasi yesterday ako ngsimula ng gabi uminom ako pgktpos ng breakfast at ng lunch.
Hi Julie,
There is no known interaction between the supplement memo plus and xenical. You may take xenical if you need to shed off those extra pounds. You may take Xenical during meal or 1 hour after consuming your meal. Xenical’s side effects are strictly gastrointestinal in nature and related to its action of blocking the digestion of ingested fat. How quickly these effects occur will vary from person to person and will depend on how much extra fat was consumed. They can occur within hours after eating or upto a day or two later. Over time your body or system will adjust to Xenical, consequently, these effects may slow down or even stop. Thank you.
hi, i just want to ask, can i take xenical even if not that fat? i just want to lose some weight.
Hi, Jess!
You may choose to continue using Xenical until you have reached your desired weight. You may then use Xenical to maintain your weight upon reaching your desired goal. If after not taking Xenical over a period of time you felt you have regained some weight back, then you may start taking Xenical again.

Hi, i am taking also oral Glutathione and USANA vitamins…will Xenical block the benefits of the two?
Hi RG,
There is no interaction between Xenical and Glutathione. Glutathione is an anti-oxidant, while Xenical works mainly in the gastrointestinal system. You can also take your vitamins (like Vitamin A, D, E, K) together with Xenical but if you are taking these vitamins for treatment, we suggest that you consult first with your doctor before you take Xenical. Thank you.

Hi Ortiz,
Xenical prevents upto 30% of the fat in your food from being digested and absorbed by the body. It binds the fats and eliminates it in our bowel as oil, thus preventing it from forming fatty deposits around our waist, thighs and hips. Since less fat is being stored in your body, you will start to consume the current stored fat in your body as a source of energy. This causes you further weight reduction. Salamat po:)
Hi there,
Ask ko lang po kung ok lang ba 1 xenical pill a day po ako mag take, sa lunch lang cause i eat fatty meats sa lunch po then sa gabi po light food na lang and umiinom po ako ng kankunis tea,ok lang po kaya yun. Thanks
Hello Angel!

Is Xenical working only within an hour when you take it after your meal? I’ve been on Xenical for 3weeks already, however, I take it once a day only after dinner. Will it not take effect on the meals I had earlier in the day? Though I take it once a day, I’m happy to see it’s working. There’s still oil present each time I poop in the morning. Thank you!
Hi Ces,
Xenical prevents upto 30% of the fat in your food from being digested and absorbed by the body. If you skip a meal or your meal contains little fat there is no reason to take Xenical. Thank you for choosing Xenical

and ung dating fats ba e hindi na nya kayang tunawin.. sbi kc nung isang nutritionist kahit magtake aq ng xenical ung dating stored fats q daw sa body hndi nya tutunawin kundi ung mga bagong fats galing sa food ang tutunawin nya? whhaahh naloloka na q.. kylangan q na tlga magdiet..
Hi liezzie28,
Xenical is the only approved lipase inhibitor for weight loss. The action of Xenical is to block the enzyme, lipase, preventing the absorption and digestion of approximately 30% of the fat that is in your food. The undigested fat is eliminated n your bowel movement as oil. As a result, your body will burn and make use of the currently stored fats for energy consumption. As a result, you will lose weight. Thank you.
Hi,
I started using xenical last Saturday but I didn’t have frequent bowel movements and oily stools since then. Is it normal? Thanks!
Hi Tyn,
Xenical is still working. Oil only occurs when there is too much fat in your diet. When taking Xenical, it’s recommended you have less than 40 grams of fat a day, and no more than 12 grams in each main meal. If you keep your fat intake low, you’ll reduce your chances of experiencing oily stool. Thank you.
I’ve only experienced oily stools after 5 days of taking xenical. I’m thinking it is because I haven’t eaten food with high fat?I’m hoping that I will still lose weight even if I don’t go out to exercise as I don’t have much time.
I also have another question, isn’t it bad for my kidney? As I will be using this for a long period of time and I’m afraid that my kidney would not be able to take all the pills I’m putting into my body.
Thanks!
Hi Tyn,
Xenical mainly works in the gastrointestinal tract, and is minimally absorbed in the bloodstream. Therefore, it has no direct interaction with the kidneys. Thank you.
is it normal that other promo codes doesn’t have points? it was displayed in my promo codes encoded but then, there is no points credited. pls reply. thanks…

Base po sa mga nabasa ko sa mga answer niyo sa comment ng mga user dito, xenical helps to eliminate fats, every after meal.
So, ang tanong ko lang po, if I start taking xenical now, matatanggal din ba yung mga post excess weight ko before ako nag take ng xenical?
Hi Mela,

I really want to give a try but Im worried because as per further reading it should be 3 times a day and Im working in a Call Center, we only have plotted breaks there and Im also really worried on discharging or a lot of bowel movements.
Hi Camille!

Hi just wanna ask if im still qualified for a free Xenical? i just registered. If so, what do I need to do? I always wanted to try Xenical but I hear a lot of comments regarding oily thing after taking the pill. How true is that?
Hi mia0301!
The free Xenical samples will be given to participants of our Free Belly Dancing Class on July 28. If you’d like to join, please e-mail us at bellydancing@newyou.com.ph. One of the effects of Xenical is having oily stools. This is the effect of Xenical’s fat-blocking function. It eliminates fats from the food you eat, so it will not be deposited in the body. Thank you.

Hi Remic,
Please try the following:
1) Register first as a Club New You member, and then verify your membership by clicking the link which will be forwarded to your e-mail upon registration;
2) Re-enter the code;
3) Replace letter O with number 0 (and vice-versa).
Please let us know if it still doesn’t work. Regarding your 2nd question, Xenical works by blocking and eliminating 30% of the fats from the food you eat. It is best taken with meals, preferably main meals of the day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). Thank you.

My problem is my tummy…though my weight is 125 lbs but I have a big tummy..could Xenical help me with this problem…Looking forward for your reply. Thanks in advance…!!! God bless…!!!
Hi EhS,
A study showed Xenical being administered as part of the medical for obese hypertensive patients who are inadequately treated. They found out that giving Xenical to patients can lower blood pressure. (Bakris et al J of Hypertension 2002. Nov, 20(11); 2257-2267). We, however, recommend that you consult with your doctor first before starting the medication. Thank you.
hi there!!! wanna ask if it is ok to take a glutathion product while taking xenical. is there any drug-drug interaction between the two product? thanks….looking forward to hear your response.
Hi Melger!
There is no interaction between Xenical and Glutathione. Glutathione is an anti-oxidant, while Xenical works mainly in the gastrointestinal system and is absorbed into the blood circulation minimally. Thank you.

hi, 2 beses lang po ako kumakain sa isang araw, pero mataba parin ako, 2 beses din po ba akong iinum non o 3 beses parin kahin hindi kumain ng ikatlong beses? salamat.
Hi Miss Flerida,
Xenical should be taken with each main meals, if you miss a meal or if you know that your meal does not contains fat you do not have to take Xenical. A well-balanced, low-fat and reduced-calorie diet is recommended while taking Xenical. This will also help you achieve your weight loss goal easily. Thank you.
I just started taking Xenical but I am also on PSYLLIUM FIBRE. I take 1 dose of psyllium fibre everyday, in the morning. When’s the best time for me to take Xenical? Will psyllium reduce the effect of Xenical? Thanks.
H Meel,
We will get back to you on this one, we will forward your question to our resident doctor and will get to you asap. Thank you.
Kung ihihinto ba ang pagtake ng xenical mag gagain ka ulit ng weight? Thanks!
Hi Selle,
If you miss a dose, you simply lose the benefit of Xenical blocking the absorptions
of some of the fat in the foods you eat for that meal. Therefore, yes, you will gain weight. Thank you.
Kung ihihinto ba ang pagtake ng xenical mag gagain ka ulit ng weight? Thanks!
Hi Selle!
If you stop taking Xenical, all the fats from the food you eat will be absorbed and stored in your body. Therefore, it is possible that you gain weight. Thank you.
Kung ihihinto ba ang pag inom ng xenical mag gain ba ulit yung weight?
Hi Rose!
If you stop taking Xenical, all the fats from the food you eat will be absorbed and stored in your body. Therefore, it is possible that you gain weight. Thank you.
What if I skip breakfast and you said it will be taken during meal? Do I still need to drink xenical even if I skip meal?
Hi Rowena,
If you miss a meal or if know that your meal contains no fat, you do not have to take Xenical. Thank you.
