USES
Take this drug by mouth, generally three times
daily during (or up to one hour after) each main meal
that contains fat. Your daily intake of fat, protein
and carbohydrate should be evenly spread over three
main meals. If a meal is occasionally missed or contains
no fat, skip that dose of the medication. Because this
drug can interfere with absorption of fat-soluble vitamins
(e.g., A,D,E,K), a daily multivitamin supplement containing
these nutrients is recommended. Take the multivitamin
at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after this drug (e.g.,
at bedtime). The effects of this drug may begin as soon
as 1-2 days after treatment begins; noticeable weight
loss will take longer.

SIDE EFFECTS
Fatty/oily stool, oily spotting, intestinal gas
with discharge, bowel movement urgency, poor bowel control,
or headaches may occur. If these effects persist or
worsen, notify your doctor promptly. Intestinal side
effects (e.g., oily stool) may increase in intensity
if you exceed your daily dietary fat allowance. Tell
your doctor immediately if you have any of these unlikely
but serious side effects: swelling of the feet or ankles.
If you notice other effects not listed above, contact
your doctor or pharmacist.

PRECAUTIONS
Tell your doctor your medical history, including:
allergies, digestive disorders (malabsorption or cholestasis),
low thyroid function (hypothyroidism), other metabolism
problems (e.g., oxalate kidney stones, hyperoxaluria).
Xenical should not be used if you have anorexia nervosa
or bulemia-type eating disorders. Tell your doctor if
you are pregnant before using Xenical. The manufacturer
does not recommend use of Xenical during pregnancy.
It is not known whether Xenical is excreted into breast
milk. Because of the potential risk to the infant, breast-feeding
while using Xenical is not recommended. Consult your
doctor before breast-feeding.

DRUG INTERACTION
Tell your doctor of all prescription and nonprescription
medication you use, especially of: cyclosporine, "blood
thinners" (e.g., warfarin), drugs for diabetes
(e.g., insulin), other drugs used for weight loss. Cyclosporine
should be taken at least 2 hours before or after orlistat
to assure maximum absorption of the cyclosporine into
your bloodstream. Do not start or stop any medicine
without doctor or pharmacist approval.
|
MISSED DOSAGE
If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember.
If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed
dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not double
the dose to catch up.
|

Store at room temperature between 59 and 86 degrees
F (15-30 degrees C) away from light and moisture. Keep
