Product Overview
Xenical is a brand name for the medication Orlistat, which is used for weight management in overweight and obese adults. It works by blocking the absorption of dietary fat in the intestines, thereby reducing calorie intake and promoting weight loss. Xenical is taken orally with meals that contain fat, and it is typically prescribed in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. The medication is not intended to be a standalone treatment for weight loss, but rather a tool to support healthy lifestyle changes.
