Xenical is a Drug consisting of Orlistat compound and Xenical/Orlistat comes under the category of drugs used for controlling weight. Xenical is very commonly used in the management of obesity including weight loss and weight maintenance when used with a reduced-calorie diet. Xenical/Orlistat is being manufactured by Roche Laboratories. What are the major disorders for which Xenical/Orlistat may be Used? Xenical/Orlistat is generally used for the treatment of overweight and obesity, the problems related to an increase of body weight. Overweight is defined as an increase in body weight in proportion to an individual’s height. This is when compared to a standard of acceptable or desirable weight. Overweight may or may not be due to increases in body fat. It may also be due to an increase in lean muscle. Obesity is defined as an excessively high amount of body fat or adipose tissue in relation to lean body mass. The amount of body fat (or adiposity) includes concern for both the distribution of fat throughout the body and the size of the adipose tissue deposits. BMI is a common measure expressing the relationship (or ratio) of weight-to-height. It is a mathematical formula in which a person's body weight in kilograms is divided by the square of his or her height in meters (i.e., wt/(ht)2. Individuals with a BMI of 25 to 29.9 are considered overweight, while individuals with a BMI of 30 or more are considered obese. The BMI is more highly correlated with body fat than any other indicator of height and weight. Hence, it becomes important to control the weight before it leads to problems like hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, cancer, etc. There are number of drugs available in the market and Xenical is one of the commonly used drugs for controlling the body weight, and this is given in supplement to the controlled diet. Xenical/Orlistat is a medicine that helps in controlling the excess body weight. The increase in body weight can be due to many reasons but the most common reason is over eating and that too full of fat and calories. If a person takes diet high in fat and calories, the body uses a particular amount it requires for the normal functioning, and the excess is stored as fat by the body, resulting in weight gain. The food is absorbed in the body by a normal functioning where it breaks down into its simplest components so that it can be digested. Xenical works in a different manner than other weight-loss drugs, which act in the brain or central nervous system to suppress appetite or to speed up metabolism. Xenical works in the digestive system to block about one-third of the fat in the food that one eats from being digested. The enzymes present in the human digestive system, called lipases, help digest (or break down) fat. If Xenical is taken with meals, it attaches to the lipases and blocks them from breaking down some of the fat you have eaten. The undigested fat cannot be absorbed and is eliminated in the bowel movements. Hence, Xenical helps in blocking about one-third of the fat in the foods one eats from being absorbed by the body. Xenical has been proved to be a very successful drug for controlling excess weight. Is any prescription required to get Xenical?
