Xenical

BRAND: XENICAL

GENERIC: ORLISTAT

XENICAL is an oral prescription medication that can help considerably overweight people lose weight and keep it off. XENICAL works in your intestines, where it blocks some of the fat you eat from being absorbed.  This undigested fat is then eliminated in your bowel movements.

SAFETY INFORMATION

XENICAL is for people who are considerably overweight (have a body mass index of 30 or greater). XENICAL is also for people who are overweight (have a body mass index of 27 or greater) and also have other risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease or diabetes.
XENICAL should be taken with a [nutritionally balanced] reduced-calorie diet containing no more than 30% of calories from fat.

WARNING

• XENICAL shouldn’t be taken if you are pregnant, nursing, have food absorption problems or reduced bile flow.
• If you are taking cyclosporine or thyroxine, speak to your doctor before taking XENICAL. XENICAL reduces the absorption of vitamins; therefore, a daily multivitamin is recommended.

►Do not use XENICAL if you:

• consistently have problems absorbing food (chronic malabsorption)
• have gallbladder problems
• are pregnant or are breastfeeding a child
• have ever had an allergic reaction to orlistat or any of XENICAL’s ingredients

►Before taking MONOPRIL, tell your doctor if you are:

• allergic to any mediciens, foods, or dyes
• taking any other weight-loss medication
• taking cyclosporine
• taking thyroid medicine
• taking any other medicines (including those not prescribed by your doctor)
• taking any dietary supplements, including herbal products
• planning to become pregnant
• anorexic or bulimic

►Should you take a multivitamin with XENICAL?:

XENICAL interferes with your body’s absorption of some fat-soluble vitamins.  Therefore, when you use XENICAL, it is highly recommended that you take a daily multivitamin supplement containing vitamins D, E, K, and beta-carotene.  Take your multivitamin once a day at least 2 hours before or after taking XENICAL, such as at bedtime.

SIDE EFFECTS

►MOST COMMON SIDE EFFECTS:

Because XENICAL works by blocking the absorption of dietary fat, it is likely that you will experience some changes in bowel habits. These bowel changes are a natural effect of blocking the fat from being absorbed. They generally occur during the first weeks of treatment; however, for some people they may continue for 6 months or longer while on XENICAL. These changes may include:

• gas with oily discharge
• an increased number of bowel movements, an urgent need to have them, and an inability to control them, particularly after meals containing higher amounts of fat than are recommended.

► OTHER SIDE EFFECTS:

• fever
• body ache
• cough
• headaches
• running nose
• sneezing
• sore throat
• oily stool discharge
• orange or brown colored oil in the stool
• bloody urine
• urination problems
• hearing difficulty
• dental problems
• sudden tension
• changes in the menstrual cycle
• rectal pain

Whatever the symptoms, it is best that you consult your personal health care specialist as soon as possible to investigate and establish the causes, and take the appropriate course of action.

DRUG INTERACTION

Be sure to discuss with your doctor all medications (including herbal products) you are currently taking, including medicines you can get without a prescription (over-the-counter), to determine if XENICAL can be taken in addition to these medications.

If you are taking cyclosporine, XENICAL and cyclosoprine should be taken at least 2 hours apart.  If your cyclosporine levels are being measured, more frequent monitoring may be necessary.

If you are taking levothyroxine, XENICAL and levothyroxine should be taken at least 4 hours apart.
