Item info:

XENICAL (orlistat) is a prescription drug that blocks the absorption of dietary fats in the body. It attaches to the lipases, natural enzymes in the intestinal tract, and prevents the breakdown of 30% of the fat eaten in your food. The undigested fat cannot be absorbed and is eliminated through your bowel movement.

XENICAL aids in weight loss and weight maintenance when used with a reduced-calorie diet and physical activity.

XENICAL is available in hard-gelatin capsule form. You can buy XENICAL online through online pharmacies or online ordering systems like Euromedonline. If you need a prescription, you can fill out our prescription request form and a US-licensed physician will issue you with one.

Contraindications:

Do not take XENICAL without informing your doctor of your sensitivity to its formulation: (active) orlistat; (inactive)

Do not use XENICAL without informing your doctor if you have any of the following conditions:

• Chronic malabsorption syndrome (inability to absorb food and nutrients properly)
• Gallbladder problems
• Anorexic or bulimic
• Pregnant
• Breastfeeding
• History of kidney stones
• Diabetes

The existence of these conditions may require your doctor to prohibit, make a dosage adjustment or call for special monitoring while taking XENICAL.

Orlistat is in the FDA pregnancy category B, which means that it is not expected to harm an unborn baby, or whether it has adverse reactions to nursing infants.

Interactions:

Do not take XENICAL without first talking to your doctor if you are taking other prescription or over-the-counter medicines; including vitamins, minerals, and herbal products.

XENICAL may also interact with any of the following medicines:

XENICAL may also decrease your body's absorption of some fat-soluble vitamins.

Take your vitamin supplement once a day, at least 2 hours before or after taking XENICAL.
