Generic Xenical Information

Introduction

Xenical contains the lipase‑inhibiting agent Orlistat and belongs to the weight‑loss medication group. Its primary therapeutic purpose is to assist overweight adults in achieving clinically meaningful weight reduction when combined with a reduced‑calorie diet and regular physical activity. In Hong Kong, Xenical is registered for adult obesity management and is listed on the Hong Kong Department of Health’s drug register. Secondary uses include improvement of metabolic parameters such as fasting glucose and lipid profiles, which are common in the local population with high rates of metabolic syndrome.

What is Xenical?

Xenical is a tablet formulation of the active compound Orlistat (120 mg per tablet). It is classified as a gastrointestinal lipase inhibitor. The product was originally developed by Roche (formerly by Merck & Co.) and marketed under the trade name Xenical in many jurisdictions. The generic version marketed by our online pharmacy contains the same Orlistat molecule, identical dosage, and meets the same pharmacopoeial specifications as the reference brand.

How Xenical Works

Orlistat exerts its effect by covalently binding to the active site of pancreatic lipases, the enzymes responsible for hydrolyzing dietary triglycerides into absorbable free fatty acids. By blocking this step, approximately 30 % of ingested fat (≈ 10–15 g per 150 g of dietary fat) is prevented from being absorbed and is eliminated in the feces. The reduction in caloric intake, primarily from fat, creates a negative energy balance that supports weight loss. The onset of action occurs within the first meal after administration; the inhibitory effect persists for the duration of fat digestion (≈ 3–4 hours). Orlistat is not systemically absorbed in significant amounts, and its plasma concentration is below the limit of quantification, which contributes to a favorable safety profile.

Conditions Treated with Xenial

• Obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m²) or overweight with comorbidities (BMI ≥ 27 kg/m² plus hypertension, dyslipidaemia, or type 2 diabetes).
  In Hong Kong, adult obesity prevalence is estimated at 15–20 % according to the Hong Kong Health Survey 2021. Xenical is approved to aid weight reduction in these patients, a key step in preventing cardiovascular disease.

• Weight‑related metabolic disorders.
  Clinical trials have shown that Orlistat improves fasting glucose, HbA1c, and LDL‑cholesterol, supporting its use in patients with metabolic syndrome—a condition affecting roughly one‑third of Hong Kong adults.

• Weight maintenance after bariatric procedures (off‑label).
  While not an official indication, clinicians sometimes prescribe Orlistat to mitigate weight regain after surgical weight loss, based on evidence of its modest additive effect.

Suitable Candidates for Xenical Treatment

• Adults (≥ 18 years) whose BMI meets the approved thresholds.
• Individuals motivated to follow a calorie‑restricted diet with ≤ 30 % of total calories from fat.
• Patients without chronic malabsorption syndromes, cholestasis, or severe renal/hepatic impairment.
• Persons not pregnant, nursing, or planning conception, as the safety in these groups has not been established.

Contra‑indications include: chronic malabsorption, cholestatic liver disease, hypersensitivity to Orlistat or any excipients, and simultaneous use of cyclosporine or amiodarone (which increase systemic exposure).

Risks, Side Effects, and Interactions

Common

• Steatorrhea (oily, loose stools).
  Occurs when dietary fat exceeds the drug’s capacity to block absorption; patients are advised to limit fat intake to ≤ 30 % of total calories.

• Fecal urgency and incontinence.
  Directly related to unabsorbed fat; may affect social activities if dietary recommendations are not followed.

• Flatulence with discharge.

Rare

• Mild hepatic enzyme elevation.
  Isolated reports of transient ALT/AST rises; routine monitoring is not mandatory but may be considered in patients with pre‑existing liver disease.

• Kidney stone formation.
  Reduced calcium absorption can increase urinary oxalate; adequate hydration and calcium‑rich meals are recommended.

Serious

• Pancreatitis.
  Very rare; any acute abdominal pain with elevated pancreatic enzymes warrants immediate medical evaluation.

• Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis, angio‑edema).

Drug–Drug Interactions

• Cyclosporine – co‑administration increases systemic Orlistat exposure; dose adjustment or alternative therapy is advised.
• Amiodarone – similar interaction risk; monitoring of cardiac rhythm may be necessary.
• Fat‑soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) – Orlistat reduces absorption; supplementation of multivitamins (containing these vitamins) at least 2 hours before or after taking Xenical is recommended.

Practical Use: Dosing, Missed Dose, Overdose

• Standard dosing: One 120 mg tablet with each main meal containing fat (up to three times daily). If a meal is skipped or contains no fat, the dose should be omitted.
• Missed dose: If a meal is missed, do not take the tablet later; simply skip that dose and resume with the next appropriate meal.
• Overdose: The maximum tolerated single dose is 240 mg. In case of accidental double dosing, monitor for gastrointestinal symptoms; no specific antidote exists, and symptomatic treatment (e.g., fluid intake) is sufficient.
• Food considerations: Patients should distribute total daily fat intake evenly across meals to avoid excessive gastrointestinal side effects.
• Alcohol: Moderate alcohol consumption does not affect Xenical’s mechanism but may exacerbate gastrointestinal discomfort; advise caution.
• Comorbidities: In patients with chronic kidney disease (eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m²) or severe hepatic impairment, dose reduction or alternative therapy should be considered.

FAQ

• What is the appearance of Xenical tablets?
  Xenical tablets are round, off‑white to pale yellow, each bearing the imprint “120 mg”. The tablet is film‑coated to facilitate swallowing and to protect the active ingredient from moisture.

• Can Xenical be stored in a humid environment such as a bathroom?
  No. The tablets should be kept at a controlled room temperature (15–30 °C) and protected from moisture. Storing them in a dry cabinet or a sealed container away from the bathroom is recommended.

• Does Xenical have a different formulation in the United States compared with Asia?
  The active ingredient, Orlistat, is identical worldwide. However, some regional versions contain different inert excipients (e.g., varying amounts of lactose or corn starch) to meet local regulatory standards.

• Is Xenical safe for patients with a history of gallstones?
  Patients with gallstone disease should use caution, as reduced fat absorption can alter bile composition. Clinical guidance advises monitoring for biliary colic and discussing use with a healthcare professional.

• How does travel across time zones affect Xenical dosing?
  Dosing is tied to meals rather than clock time. When crossing time zones, patients should align tablet intake with each main meal containing fat, regardless of local time.

• Can Xenical be taken with over‑the‑counter (OTC) weight‑loss supplements?
  Many OTC supplements contain stimulants or additional fat‑blocking agents. Co‑administration may increase gastrointestinal side effects; a clinician should review all concurrent products.

• What are the implications of Xenical for drug testing in sports?
  Orlistat is not listed on the World Anti‑Doping Agency (WADA) prohibited list. However, athletes should disclose use in doping control forms, as gastrointestinal markers may be monitored.

• Is Xenical compatible with a vegan diet?
  The tablet’s inactive ingredients may include gelatin or animal‑derived components. Patients adhering to strict vegan diets should verify the formulation with the supplier or select a vegan‑certified generic.

• Does Xenical require prescription in Hong Kong?
  Yes, Orlistat (Xenical) is a prescription‑only medication in Hong Kong. Our online pharmacy facilitates access for patients who have obtained a valid prescription from a licensed practitioner.

• What is the shelf‑life of Xenical tablets after opening the package?
  Unopened tablets retain potency for up to 24 months from the manufacturing date. Once the blister pack is opened, tablets should be used within 6 months and stored in a dry, sealed container.
