Fat Absorber

 

Xenical

Tried: 120mg x 84's by Roche Pharma

Active ingredient: Orlistat

Directions: Adults 1 capsule with each main meal. Taking more than 1 capsule with each main meal shows no additional benefits. Should be taken with food (take immediately before or during or up to 1 hr after each main meal. If a meal is missed or contains no liquid fat, the intake can be omitted.).

Adverse reactions: GI discomfort, oily spotting, flatus w/ discharge, faecal urgency, fatty/oily stool, oily evacuation, increased defaecation & faecal incontinence. May decrease absorption of vitamin A, D, E & K & β-carotene which is oil soluble.

My personal experience: The uncontrollable discharge of liquid fat during flatulence makes the whole fat absorbing experience unpleasant. Also found out that solid fat as animal fats cannot be eliminated as effectively as liquid fats/ oils. Any consumption of Omega 3 capsules or CLA will be passed out as long as xenical is still in the intestines to perform its duty of fats binding even after 4 or 6 hours of xenical intake. Taking xenical also dries up my skin externally. Therefore, will only consume xenical when having a really oily meal!!!!!!! And advised to wear a panty liner to prevent staining of pants/ skirts as it is really difficult to wash.
