Brand Xenical
Approved by the US FDA as a treatment for obesity, Xenical can help obese patients lose significant amounts of weight and keep them off. Xenical affects not one's appetite but one's digestive system: it prevents the body from digesting a large part of the fat in one's food. The unabsorbed fat is eliminated from the body where otherwise it would contribute to weight gain. In order not to put people at risk of side effects unnecessarily, Xenical is only prescribed to patients with a Body Mass Index of 30 or more or patients who have additional risk factors.
