Xenical 120 mg Hartkapseln 84 Stk

Xenical works locally in the gastrointestinal tract:

• Inhibits gastric and pancreatic lipases, the enzymes that break down dietary fat.
  
• Prevents the absorption of about 30% of the fat consumed in a meal.
  
• Undigested fat is excreted in the stool, leading to a caloric deficit and weight loss.
  

Important: It does not suppress appetite or affect the central nervous system.

• Form: Hard capsules (Hartkapseln), 120 mg
  
• Recommended Dose:
  
  • 120 mg three times daily with each main meal containing fat (during or up to 1 hour after the meal).
    
  • If a meal is missed or contains no fat, skip the dose.
    
• Administration: Swallow with water. Maintain a nutritionally balanced, mildly hypocaloric diet with about 30% of calories from fat.

• Common (usually mild and gastrointestinal):
  • Oily or fatty stools (steatorrhea)
    
  • Urgent or increased need to defecate
    
  • Flatulence with discharge
    
  • Abdominal pain or discomfort
    
  • Diarrhea
    
  • Fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies (A, D, E, K) with long-term use
    
• Serious (rare):
  • Severe liver injury (very rare; monitor for jaundice or dark urine)
    
  • Oxalate nephropathy (kidney stones) in predisposed patients
    
  • Allergic reactions (rash, itching, anaphylaxis)
