Pharmacology

Xenical, containing orlistat, is a lipase inhibitor medication. It's used alongside a low-fat, low-calorie diet and exercise to aid weight loss. This medication inhibits certain enzymes that break down dietary fats. Undigested fat is expelled from the body through bowel movements. This approach not only helps in weight loss but also in preventing or managing conditions like hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease. Xenical can assist in sustaining weight loss and preventing weight regain.
