Review
Summary |
Xenical is a prescription medication marketed as a weight loss aid for considerably overweight people.
After consulting a doctor and determining your Body Mass Index (BMI), you must register with Xenical to receive diet and exercises tips and are provided with an Evaluation Tool.
It is also possible to enter the information online to determine your BMI, and the website will let you know whether or not you are a candidate for a weight-loss program.

| How Is Xenical Advertised to Work? |
|
Xenical claims to work in the digestive system, preventing one-third of total fat consumed from being digested. Physically it attaches to lipases, enzymes found in the digestive tract, and prevents them from breaking down the fat you have eaten. These are then eliminated through bowel movements.
|
| Diet Lifestyle |
|
This product is intended for those who are significantly overweight and at greater risk for conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure and Type 2 Diabetes. This is not for use by relatively healthy individuals who just want to lose a few pounds.
An additional multivitamin is recommended because Xenical may reduce the body’s absorption ability.

| Positives |
|
• Web site provides information on preparing for doctor visit
• Must be used with doctor’s recommendation/supervision
|
| Negatives |
• Side effects include changes in bowel habits, for possibly as long as 6 months
• It seems this product has not been well received by many consumers, as a number of them are voicing their concerns on consumer blogs and forums. Interested consumers can click here to read more about these issues in this Xenical blog.
• While realizing dieters will reach a “plateau” there is no determined stopping point of the medication
• Not available to everyone

| Final Thoughts |
|
We appreciate that a lot of information is provided on the Web site, including the ability to determine your BMI, which can save you the trouble of a doctor’s visit if you are not eligible for the drug. We also like that nutritional information is provided for anyone who peruses the site, not just those on Xenical, for education on proper calorie intake and fat differences.
Medicines as we all know are effective, except of course for any potential side effects, as seems to be the case here. However, there are now a lot of natural alternatives that may be safer and just as effective for some. Be advised, that the elimination process while taking Xenical seems to be potentially uncomfortable and embarrassing. In the end, we find that through proper nutritional education, exercise, balanced meals and natural supplements, weight loss may be achieved in a safer and more convenient way.
