What is Xenical Generic (Orlistat)?
Xenical Generic contains orlistat, a lipase inhibitor that works by blocking about 30% of dietary fat absorption in the gut. By preventing the breakdown and absorption of fat, orlistat reduces calorie intake and aids weight loss. It's primarily prescribed for adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or above, or those with a BMI over 27 who have other weight-related health conditions.
Dosage of Xenical Generic (Orlistat)
- The recommended dosage is one 120 mg capsule taken three times a day.
- Take one capsule at each of the main meals: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
- Xenical can be taken during a meal or up to one hour after eating.
- If a meal is missed or contains no fat, you can skip the dose for that time.
- Do not exceed three capsules (360 mg) per day.
Taking one 120 mg capsule with each main meal containing fat is essential for Xenical's effectiveness.
How to Take Xenical Generic (Orlistat)
- Swallow the capsule whole with water.
- Follow a nutritionally balanced, low-fat, calorie-controlled diet.
- Distribute your daily intake of fat, carbohydrates, and protein evenly across three main meals.

Proper meal planning and adherence to dosing schedule optimise weight loss results with Xenical.
Side Effects
- Common side effects of Xenical include:
- Oily or fatty stools
- Increased bowel movements or urgency
- Abdominal discomfort or cramps
- Flatulence with discharge
- These effects generally occur due to unabsorbed fat passing through the intestines and often improve over time with dietary adjustments.
- Rare but serious side effects requiring prompt medical attention:
- Severe allergic reactions
- Liver injury symptoms such as yellowing of the skin or eyes
Side effects are mostly mild and manageable by adhering to a low-fat diet; serious symptoms require immediate medical care.
Can Xenical Generic (Orlistat) be Combined with Other Medications?
- Inform your doctor of all medications and supplements you take.
- Orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and some medications.
- Space the timing of vitamins and medications to avoid reduced absorption, usually by taking them 2 hours before or after Xenical.
- Use caution if on warfarin or thyroid medications, and monitor with your healthcare provider.
Coordinated medication management with healthcare professionals is important for safe use alongside Xenical.
