Buy Xenical 120mg Capsules Online - Effective Weight-Loss Help

Xenical 120mg is a prescription-only weight loss medication designed to help you achieve and maintain a healthier weight. It contains orlistat, an active ingredient that works by blocking around one-third of the fat from your food, preventing it from being absorbed by your body. Instead, this fat passes naturally through your digestive system and out of your body in your poo, helping you to lose weight more effectively.

Xenical is suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 28 and above if you have weight-related health issues like diabetes or high blood pressure. To see the best results, it should be used alongside following a balanced diet and getting regular exercise.

About Xenical 120mg Capsules

Xenical 120mg is a prescription weight loss medication that has been safely used for over 25 years to support adults struggling to lose weight. It could be suitable for you if you have a BMI of 30 or higher. It may also be suitable if your BMI is 28 and above and you also have health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. Xenical blocks about one-third of fat from your food from being absorbed by your body. For the best results, combine this medication with a healthy diet and regular exercise to support long-term weight loss.

How Do Xenical 120mg Capsules Work?

Xenical 120mg contains orlistat, which helps with weight loss by blocking fat absorption. It stops enzymes in your stomach from breaking down fat, so about one-third of the fat passes through your body naturally when you go to the toilet. For the best results, use Xenical alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise.

How To Take/Use Xenical 120mg Capsules

Take one Xenical 120mg capsule up to three times a day, with each main meal that contains fat. You can take it just before, during, or up to one hour after eating. If you skip a meal, eat a fat-free meal, or have a small snack instead, you don’t need to take a dose. Sticking to the correct dosing schedule is essential for Xenical to work effectively as part of your weight loss plan.

Ingredients

Each Xenical 120mg capsule contains the active ingredient orlistat (120mg) as the which helps block fat absorption in the body.

Other inactive ingredients include:

  • Microcrystalline cellulose - helps form the capsule
  • Sodium starch glycolate – helps the capsule dissolve
  • Povidone - helps keep the ingredients stable
  • Sodium lauryil sulfate & talc - ensure even mixing of ingredients

The capsule shell contains gelatine, indigo carmine (E132), and titanium dioxide (E171), giving it its blue colour.

Side Effects

Xenical works by stopping your body from absorbing so much fat. This can cause side effects like oily stools, increased bowel movements, or stomach pain.

After eating high-fat meals, you may experience:

  • oily spotting in your underwear
  • flatulence/wind
  • the need to poo more quickly or urgently

These effects are harmless, but can be reduced by following a low-fat diet. Keeping fat intake evenly spread across your meals and avoiding greasy foods can help minimise your symptoms. Most side effects should improve as your body adjusts to the medication.

Warnings

Don’t take Xenical if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, have liver disease (cholestasis), or malabsorption syndrome (a condition affecting digestion). Xenical can reduce the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), so it’s a good idea to take a daily multivitamin.

Xenical can affect blood thinners, diabetes medicine, thyroid treatments, and ciclosporin. Talk to a doctor before use to avoid interactions. Severe diarrhoea may make oral contraceptives less effective, so use extra protection such as condoms if needed.
