Xenical Information
|
How should Xenical be used?
Orlistat comes as a capsule to take by mouth. It is usually taken three
times a day with each main meal that contains fat. Each time you take orlistat,
your meal should contain no more than about 30% of calories from fat. Take
orlistat during or up to 1 hour after a meal. If a meal is missed or does
not have fat, you may skip your dose. Follow the directions on your prescription
label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you
do not understand. Take orlistat exactly as directed. Do not take more or
less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
What special precautions should I follow?
Before taking orlistat,
tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to orlistat or any other
drugs.
tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription drugs
you are taking, especially anticoagulants (''blood thinners'') such as warfarin
(Coumadin); medications for diabetes, such as glipizide (Glucotrol), glyburide
(DiaBeta, Dynase, Micronase), metformin (Glucophage), and insulin; other
medications for weight loss; pravastatin (Pravachol); vitamins such as beta-carotene
and vitamins A, E, and K; and herbal products. If you are taking cyclosporine
(Neoral, Sandimmune), take it 2 hours before or 2 hours after orlistat.
tell your doctor if you have or have ever had anorexia nervosa or bulimia,
gallstones, thyroid disease, diabetes, kidney problems, or if you consistently
have problems absorbing food (malabsorption syndrome).
tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding.
What special dietary instructions should I follow?
Follow the diet program your doctor has given you. You should evenly
divide your daily intake of fat, carbohydrates, and protein over three main
meals. If orlistat is taken with a meal very high in fat (30% total daily
calories from fat), you may experience more side effects from the medication.
Orlistat blocks your body's uptake of some fat-soluble vitamins and beta
carotene. Therefore, when you use orlistat you should take a daily multivitamin
supplement that contains vitamins A, E, K, and beta-carotene. Take the vitamin
once a day, 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking orlistat, or take the
vitamin at bedtime.
To help you get started on reducing the fat in your diet to about 30%, read
the labels on all the foods you buy. While you are taking orlistat, you
should avoid foods that have more than 30% fat. When eating meat, poultry
(chicken) or fish, eat only 2 or 3 ounces (about the size of a deck of cards).
Choose lean cuts of meat and remove the skin from poultry. Fill up your
meal plate with more grains, fruits, and vegetables. Replace whole-milk
products with nonfat or 1% milk and reduced- or low-fat dairy items. Cook
with less fat. Use vegetable oil spray when cooking. Salad dressings; many
baked items; and prepackaged, processed, and fast foods are usually high
in fat. Use the low- or non-fat versions of these foods and/or cut back
on serving sizes. When dining out, ask how foods are prepared and request
that they be prepared with little or no added fat.
What should I do if I forget a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it unless it is more than
1 hour since you ate a main meal. If it is longer than 1 hour since you
ate a main meal, skip the missed dose and continue on your regular dosing
schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
What side effects can Xenical cause?
The most common side effect of orlistat is changes in bowel movement
(BM) habits. This generally occurs during the first weeks of treatment;
however, it may continue throughout your use of orlistat.
Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
oily, spotting BMs
gas with discharge
urgent need to have a BM
oily or fatty stools
an oily discharge
increased number of BMs
inability to control BMs
orange or brown color of a BM
stomach pain
irregular menstrual periods
If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately:
itching
redness of skin
skin rash or hives
swelling
chest pain
difficulty breathing
fever
What storage conditions are needed for Xenical?
Keep Xenical in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of
reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat
and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medication that is outdated
or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of
your medication.
What other information should I know?
Keep all appointments with your doctor. Read the patient information
before starting treatment with orlistat and each time you refill the medication.
You should also follow a program of regular physical activity, such as walking.
However, before you start any new activity or exercise program, talk with
your doctor or health care professional.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions
you have about refilling your prescription. |
