Xenical Diet Pill Review

Brief Diet Pill Review Xenical diet pills work by inhibiting fat absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. The enzyme that aids in the digestion of fats is inactivated. When undigested fats are not absorbed, a calorie deficit occurs resulting in weight loss. The excess fat is excreted instead of digested. It can also help maintain weight loss that has already been experienced. Xenical has been approved by the FDA and is only available with a prescription. It is usually reserved for individuals with severe obesity. The weight loss is then monitored by a physician.

How Does Xenical Work?

It is recommended that one capsule be taken 3 times a day—one with each meal. You will still have to adjust your diet to primarily low-fat foods because of numerous side effects listed below. As with all healthy weight loss, proper nutrition and daily exercise are key. Basically, Xenical can help absorb up to 600 calories a day, which may result in the loss of 1 pound per week. However, this same weight loss could easily occur simply with diet and exercise and would not include the negative side effects.

Ingredients

Each Xenical diet pill contains 120 mg of white crystalline powder. Some of the inactive ingredients in Xenical are microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch, glycolate, sodium lauryl sulfate, povidone, and talc.

Side Effects

People who have digestive problems should not take Xenical. If you have a history of gallstones or renal problems, taking Xenical can cause the problems to reoccur. This pill can also interact with other medications that you might be taking, so definitely consult your doctor before using Xenical.

Some of the side effects that can occur with taking this diet pill are:

• rashes
• itching
• anxiety
• dizziness
• headaches
• swollen feet
• nausea
• urinary tract infections
• depression
• tendonitis
• eyelid or lip swelling

Eating foods that are high in fat while taking this pill can cause severe gastrointestinal problems, such as, diarrhea, flatulence, bowel pain, and anal leakage. Because of this, it is recommended that you take a multivitamin supplement that contains fat-soluble vitamins. This will counteract the reduced absorption of fat in the body. There has also been some minor concern that Xenical can cause breast cancer, although this has not yet been proven.

Because Xenical is not an appetite suppressant, you still have to adjust your diet to be able to take the pill. (Unless, of course, you want all hell to break loose down below!) One would think it would simply be easier to lose weight the old-fashioned way—with diet and exercise. Whatever you do, do NOT attempt to obtain Xenical without the supervision of your doctor. This pill is not for everyone and should only be taken under the careful monitoring of a licensed physician.

Xenical Review Conclusion

In our opinion, we don't think the side effects of this prescription diet pill are worth the positives that result from taking this pill. There are more effective weight loss options that don't come with the undesirable side effects caused by Xenical. This pill comes with numerous side effects and is only available through a doctor's prescription.
