What is Xenical?

Xenical is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Roche. Xenical is a reversible inhibitor of gastrointestinal lipases used for the management of obesity, including weight loss and body weight control when used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and physical activity. Xenical is also used to reduce the risk of weight regain after prior weight loss.

Xenical is used for patients with a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 30 kg/m 2 or greater than or equal to 27 kg/m 2 if other risk factors such as hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes, or dyslipidemia are present.

What doses of Xenical are available?

Xenical is available in capsule form, in the following doses: 120 mg.

Take one 120-mg capsule three times a day with each main meal containing fat (during or up to 1 hour after the meal). Spread your daily intake of fat, carbohydrate, and protein over three main meals. Xenical reduces the absorption of some fat-soluble vitamins and betacarotene. Take a multivitamin supplement containing fat-soluble vitamins to ensure adequate nutrition. Take the vitamin supplement at least 2 hours before or after Xenical.

Always speak with your healthcare provider about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Xenical active ingredients

Xenical contains orlistat as the active ingredient. Orlistat blocks the enzyme that breaks down dietary fats in your diet. Undigested fat then passes out of your body in bowel movements.

Xenical side effects

The most common side effects of Xenical in clinical trials compared to placebo include:

  • Oily spotting
  • Gas and oily discharge
  • Fecal urgency
  • Fatty/oily stool
  • Oily evacuation
  • Increased defecation
  • Urgent need to go to the bathroom, inability to control bowel movements (fecal incontinence)
  • Stomach pain, nausea, rectal pain

In rare instances, Xenical can cause more serious side effects. These can include:

  • Severe liver injury with hepatocellular necrosis or acute hepatic failure – severe abdominal pain, dark urine, yellowing eyes/skin
  • Increased levels of urinary oxalate
  • Substantial weight loss increasing the risk of cholelithiasis
  • Increased gastrointestinal events when Xenical is taken with a diet high in fat
  • Symptoms of kidney stones such as back pain, pain when you urinate, pink or bloody urine

Your doctor will assess the benefits of using Xenical against your risk of side effects. Patients are encouraged to report negative side effects or adverse events of Xenical to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
