The Swiss drug "Xenical" (tablets orcapsules) - an effective tool for losing weight: weight loss after taking it is very significant. Active component in it is Orlistat. In addition to "Xenical", this substance is a part of the preparations "Orsoten", "Alay".

Orlistat is a specific inhibitor of lipases- enzymes responsible for the breakdown of fats. This means that during the reception of "Xenical" the body loses its ability to absorb fats from food. He, thus, begins to spend his own fat reserves, and the weight of the patient, respectively, decreases. In this case, the fat that comes with food, unlike other nutrients, is excreted from the body through the intestine in an uncleaned form along with the calves. The drug begins to work a day after the first dose was taken. After the cancellation of Xenical, digestion of fat begins gradually, after two to three days.

It is to these properties orlistat and owes itsthe drug "Xenical". The instruction says that its reception can be recommended for the complex treatment of obesity of various degrees, including those in patients with type II diabetes. As shown by the data of experimental studies, in many patients whose blood sugar level was higher than normal, after the course of "Xenical" this indicator significantly decreased, and, accordingly, the need for sugar-reducing drugs decreased.

The drug "Xenical" instruction recommendsTake 120 mg (1 capsule) three times a day, with meals. The amount of fat consumed by the patient should not exceed certain values ​​(30%) - otherwise there may be quite unpleasant side effects: oily stools, flatulence, intestinal pain, frequent urge to defecate and even incontinence.
