Xenical (generic name: orlistat) is a diet treatment drug that inhibits the absorption of about 30% of dietary fat and excretes it from the body as feces.
Since it is not an appetite suppressant, it is also recommended for those who "don't want to reduce their food intake" or "often eat fatty meals."
It can also be used in combination with GLP-1 receptor agonists, SGLT2 inhibitors, and metformin, and is chosen by those who want to further enhance their diet's effectiveness.
Xenical supports weight management with a different mechanism of action than other drugs, by inhibiting lipid absorption.
Recommended for:
・Those who frequently eat fatty foods or dine out
・Those who don't want to suppress their appetite
・Those who want to use it in combination with GLP-1 or SGLT2
・Those who find it difficult to lose weight through diet alone
While individual results may vary, continuing for 2-3 months or more in conjunction with diet and exercise therapy makes it easier to feel the effects.
