Xenical prescription weight loss

Xenical boxIf you ever went to the doctors seeking help for obesity you may have been prescribed Xenical.

Xenical has been very popular and been prescriped to people who have been diagnosed as overweight or obese, determined usually with a BMI of 30 or over (calculate your BMI).

What is Xenical?

Xenical is a fat binder and works by blocking around a third of your fat consumed in your meal. Taking Xenical with your meal, it works by attaching to the enzymes that work breaking down your fat. So the undigested fat cannot be absorbed and instead is eliminated via the bowels.

Xenical side effects

The main ingredient in Xenical is Orlistat and has recently come under investigation by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).

Both the FDA and MHRA have received reports from patients complaining of side effects ranging from diarrhoea (and flatulence) to more serious liver-related abnormalities.

Slimming aids that contain Orlistat, such as Alli, have been investigated to ensure they remain safe for public consumption.

Concerns over Alli for safe weight loss

Over the counter alternatives

A number of over-counter alternative fat binder slimming pills are available. The most popular being Alli, having arrived earlier this year in the UK high streets. Alli is half-strength version of the prescription-only diet drug Xenical.

The recent news and concern over Orlistat has highlighted the importance of using natural weight loss products to reduce the chances of experiencing any side-effects.

Proactol box and pills

A 100% natural and more effective alternative is Proactol. With no reported side effects and being clinically proven, Proactol has demonstrated a safe and reliable slimming aid.

Alli slimming pill health concerns

Alli bottleSince arriving on the UK high streets early this year, Alli has not been far from the headlines.

Most discussion has centred around the infamous Alli Opps slogan associated with Alli. This arose from a rather embarrasing side-effect of taking Alli, that of loose and oily stools. More on how Alli works.

Recently a more serious potential health concerned has been documented.

Alli linked to liver damage

The main ingredient of Alli is the drug Orlistat (also marketed as the stronger prescription drug Xenical) that is now under close investigation by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) after a series of alerts from patients.

In the UK, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) received 31 reports of side-effects from patients since April 2009. The MHRA have been unable to say whether this is directly from patients using Alli or the more stronger Xenical version of the drug.

The FDA have confirmed that they have received rare reports of hepatitis and other liver-related laboratory abnormalities in people taking orlistat.

The manfacturers of Alli, GSK, have commented that Alli has been successfully used by millions of consumers in the US.

The outcome of the recent news has highlighted the importance of using natural weight loss products to minimise the chances of side-effects.

Side-effect free alternative to Alli

Proactol fat binderWhen faced with these limitations and health concerns looking at a more natural alternative is best.
