Loose stools and increased gas or flatulence are indications
of Xenical side effects. Because Xenical works by blocking
the absorption of dietary fat, it is likely that additional
Xenical side effects will manifest in bowel habits such
as oily spotting, gas with discharge, the urgent need to
go to the bathroom, oily or fatty stools, an oily discharge,
an increased number of bowel movements, and possibly the
inability to control your bowel movements. Due to the presence
of undigested fat, the oil seen in a bowel movement may
be clear, orange or brown.
These bowel changes are natural Xenical side effects which
really are just the body saying no to the absorption of fat.
If this bowel changes happen, it indicates that Xenical is
working. Xenical side effects typically occur early in the
regimen particularly after meals containing higher amounts
of fat than are recommended. These symptoms are often temporary
and may lessen or disappear as you continue treatment. Stay
disciplined and keep to your recommended diet of meals which
should contain no more than approximately 30% fat. Xenical
side effects may occur in some individuals over a period
of 6 months or longer.
Additionally, Xenical diet drugs can reduce the absorption
of fat-soluble nutrients like beta-carotene or Vitamin E.
So, it might be a good idea to start a new eating regimen
alongside the Xenical diet drugs that is rich in fruits and
vegetables.
If you are taking cyclosporine, keep in mind that both Xenical
and cyclosporine can be taken as part of the same regimen
but not taken together. Xenical and cyclosporine should be
taken at least 2 hours apart. If your cyclosporine levels
are being measured, more frequent monitoring may be necessary.
Other Xenical Side Effects
Other Xenical side effects may include allergies to the Xenical
diet drug itself or chronic malabsorption syndromes such
as sprue or steatorrhea. Xenical diet drugs are not intended
to be used in children under the age of twelve years nor
in pregnant or nursing women.
Xenical diet drugs may be right for you if you are overweight
(20% - 30% above ideal weight or a body mass index of 27
or greater) or if you face other risk factors such as high
blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, or diabetes.
But, consult your physician first.
