Xenical, also known as Orlistat, belongs to the class of drugs called gastrointestinal lipase inhibitors. It is used to treat obese individuals who have a body mass index or BMI of at least 30 kg/m2 or at least a BMI of 27 kg/ m2 as well as other risk factors such as high cholesterol, large waist measurement, type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. The drug helps people lose weight when they follow a diet that contains less than 30 percent of calories from fat.
How It Works
Xenical helps overweight individuals lose weight by blocking the action of an enzyme called lipase that is required to break down dietary fats into fatty acids. This is the form of fat that is absorbed within the body. Xenical prevents the absorption of dietary fat by approximately thirty percent.
