How to Take Xenical?

Take Xenical exactly as directed. Follow all directions given to you by your pharmacist carefully:

• Take Xenical three times a day during or up to one hour after your low fat meal.
• Eat three regular meals and you shouldn't be hungry; kick start your day and your metabolism with a good breakfast and forget fattening morning or afternoon snacks .
• You should limit your fat intake to no more than 15 grams of fat per meal. You'll be pleasantly surprised how much you can eat and still stay within your allowance.
• If you miss a meal, or if you have a meal without fat, you can skip your dose of Xenical for that meal also.
• If Xenical is taken with any one meal that is very high in fat, there is an increased chance of digestive side effects.
• Do not take more of this medication than has been prescribed for you. Doses greater than 120 mg three times a day have not been shown to provide an additional weight-loss benefit.
• Xenical may decrease your body's absorption of some fat-soluble vitamins. To ensure adequate nutrition, your doctor may recommend taking a multivitamin that contains vitamins D, E, K, and beta-carotene. Take your vitamin supplement once a day, at least 2 hours before or after a dose of Xenical.
