Xenical Side Effects - You can Live with Them

Xenical is made of an active ingredient called orlistat. This is a fat blocker that blocks fat from foods that are eaten. Combined with a low fat diet it is an effective weight loss aid.

Effective

In most situations it is extremely effective and most people who take it experience no side effects. Those people who do experience side effects only experience mild discomfort.

Common Side Effects

Most side effects are minimal and lessen as you continue to use the Xenical.The following common side effects are documented from studies taken of groups of people.

Abdominal discomfort - This xenical side effect tends to occur in about 25 percent of users. It is generally related to the moving of fat from the system. The discomfort tends to lessen with use, but if it worsens you must stop taking xenical and consult your doctor.

Oily spotting-you should expect some uncontrolled anal oil seepage as this occurs in 26 percent of new users.

Gas and oil spotting - up to 23 percent of people using xenical report some gas and oil spotting.

Oily stool—most people report oily stools as a result of the body eliminating the unwanted fat.

Urgent bowel movement - About 22 percent of users report more urgency to go to the bathroom for bowel movements.

Nausea - Surprisingly only 8 percent of those in the study reported nausea from using Xenical.

Other Side Effects

A few users reported these side effects. Under most situations these were controllable side effects to the Xenical medication.

Flu like symptoms-- Some people report a general malaise just as they feel when they come down with the flu. This includes fatigue, dizziness, and depression.
Headaches can also be a side effect of the Xenical.
Menstrual irregularity may also occur from taking Xenical.

Reduce Side Effects

In most cases these Xenical side effects can be minimized or avoided completely by reducing the amount of fat in the diet. This is why physicians recommend a low fat diet when taking Xenical. Different foods will affect your digestive system differently when taking Xenical.

Xenical helped me lose weight. I did experience some discomfort at first, but the medication has many more benefits than side effects.

Xenical helped reduce the fat storage in my body. I did experience some oily stools, but by reducing the fat in my diet, the side effect dissapeared too.
