Need to know when these expire. The ones I have are dated 2005. Are they fake?? I took them years ago and they are suppose to stop my body from digesting fat. It sure gave me greasy stool. ## Hello, Karen! How are you? Are there any markings on them? That is what would enable me to check more details on them for you. However, generally most medications expire one year from when you received them from your pharmacy, due to the fact that they degrade over time and slowly lose efficacy. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, anorexia, headache, runny nose and loss of voice.

I've used Xenical before and had excellent results but as soon as I came off the tablets and carried on eating low fat the weight came back. I have recently been diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome which causes pre diabeties which in turns causes weight gain! Consequently I am back on the Xenical to loose the weight again. I wanted to share this with women out there who do eat healthy and have weight problems which they can not explain and may have other PCOS symptoms such as menstruation, hormone imbalance unwanted hair etc. Get yourself checked out! ## Xenical is an exceleent weight loss pill. I have been taking Xenical for about 3 months now. I have lost about 5 pounds. Although Xenical is good, it is expensive. ## The active ingredient in Xenical is Orlistat, this is avai...

Xenical contains the active ingredient Orlistat, it is also available over the counter under the brand name Alli. Common side effects may include: nausea, steatorrhea, flatulence and fecal incontinence. You can read more about it here: Did you have any other questions?

Hi i want to no if its safe to take dinintel and xenical at the same time ## Hello, Lissy! How are you? No, it would be best to just stick with one or the other, since they both aid in weight loss and both carry some possible risks. If you're trying to decide which one to use, then you should know that Dinintel is considered dangerous and is not approved in most countries. Xenical, however, is approved and sold over the counter in many countries, now. Its side effects may include nausea, dizziness and fecal incontinence. Is there anything else I can help with?

I found out I was 16 weeks pregnant on xenical. Could that have harmed the baby? ## Hello, Cathy! How are you? Congratulations! It is recommended that it should not be taken during pregnancy, by the U.S. FDA, to because of evidence of harm, but due to the fact that weight loss offers no benefit to a pregnancy woman and could harm the baby. It would be best to inform your doctor that you were taking it, to be safe, but the risk of harm this early on is very low. Is there anything else I can help with?

can i drink one pill of both daily? are they safely combined? are they good to use while breast feeding? ## You shouldn't use any medication, while breast feeding, without first consulting with your doctor. Many medications can pass to the baby in your breast milk. What has your doctor advised? Xenical contains the active ingredient Orlistat, it is used to prevent the absorption of fat in the body. Yeduc contains the active ingredient Sibutramine. Generally, these both must be used only under a doctors supervision and really shouldn't be combined.

xenical ## ## Has anybody else had "oily" discharge during a bowel movement? i'm thinking that it's the fat being taken out of the food i eat. I see it listed as a possible side effect but it's really a bit more than I was expecting. Plus I'm not eating too much fat in my opinion. Has anyone else had this happen to them? Also, what is the best brand name of this?? I remember back in the day it was prescription only but now there is over the counter versions too.

wieght control ## I think you mean Xenical ## That would also be my guess. Xenical contains the active ingredient Orlistat, it helps block fat absorption to aid in weight loss and it available over the counter under the brand name Alli. However, it must be used with a low-calorie, low-fat diet to work properly and to avoid stool leakage. You can learn more Xenical details here. Are there any questions or comments?

SIDE EFFECTS, FACTS ABOUT IT, IT IS REALLY GOING TO WORK? COMPONENTS ## The active ingredient in it is Orlistat, it was originally sold as prescription only under the brand name Xenical. As with any drug, it works for some people and it doesn't work for others, there is no way to know for sure unless you try it. It can cause some rather unpleasant side effects, so it is important to follow all usage directions carefully. The most common and bothersome is loose/oily stools, since the active ingredient binds to fat and prevents it from being absorbed by the body. This leads to other possible side effects such as fecal incontenence and flatulence.

Has anyone established whether this batch of Orlistat is fake? I have my suspicions but as I've only been taking them for 2 days, I'm still not sure. ## An update on my original post. I ordered Xenical (Orlistat) from canada-pharmacy-24h.com and I received my order within two week. A generic drug called Co-Orly 120 was sent out to me direct from an Indian company called Combitic Global. I am very familiar with Orlistat and I know what to expect when I take it and without going into details, I realised within a few days that there was something odd about these tablets and I became pretty convinced that they didn't contain Orlistat. I also checked this site and read that others were concerned about these tablets, all had the same batch number. I then sent Canada Pharmacy a pol...
