ANNEX I 

SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS 



2 

1. NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT

Xenical 120 mg hard capsules 

2. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION

Each hard capsule contains 120 mg orlistat. 

For a full list of excipients, see 6.1. 

3. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM

Hard capsule.  

The capsule has a turquoise cap and turquoise body bearing the imprint of “XENICAL 120”. 

4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS

4.1 Therapeutic indications

Xenical is indicated in conjunction with a mildly hypocaloric diet for the treatment of obese patients 

with a body mass index (BMI) greater or equal to 30 kg/m², or overweight patients (BMI > 28 kg/m²) 

with associated risk factors. 

Treatment with orlistat should be discontinued after 12 weeks if patients have been unable to lose at 

least 5 % of the body weight as measured at the start of therapy. 

4.2 Posology and method of administration 

Adults  

The recommended dose of orlistat is one 120 mg capsule taken with water immediately before, during 

or up to one hour after each main meal. If a meal is missed or contains no fat, the dose of orlistat 

should be omitted.  

The patient should be on a nutritionally balanced, mildly hypocaloric diet that contains approximately 

30 % of calories from fat. It is recommended that the diet should be rich in fruit and vegetables. The 

daily intake of fat, carbohydrate and protein should be distributed over three main meals. 

Doses of orlistat above 120 mg three times daily have not been shown to provide additional benefit. 

The effect of orlistat results in an increase in faecal fat as early as 24 to 48 hours after dosing. Upon 

discontinuation of therapy, faecal fat content usually returns to pre-treatment levels, within 48 to 72 

hours. 

Special populations 

The effect of orlistat in patients with hepatic and/or renal impairment, children and elderly patients has 

not been studied.  

There is no relevant indication for use of Xenical in children. 

4.3 Contraindications 

- Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients.

- Chronic malabsorption syndrome.

- Cholestasis.

- Breast-feeding.

4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use 

In clinical trials, the decrease in bodyweight with orlistat treatment was less in type II diabetic patients 

than in non-diabetic patients. Antidiabetic medicinal product treatment may have to be closely 

monitored when taking orlistat. 

Co-administration of orlistat with ciclosporin is not recommended (see section 4.5). 

Patients should be advised to adhere to the dietary recommendations they are given (see section 4.2). 

The possibility of experiencing gastrointestinal adverse reactions (see section 4.8) may increase when 

orlistat is taken with a diet high in fat (e.g. in a 2000 kcal/day diet, > 30 % of calories from fat equates 

to > 67 g of fat). The daily intake of fat should be distributed over three main meals. If orlistat is taken 

with a meal very high in fat, the possibility of gastrointestinal adverse reactions may increase.  

Cases of rectal bleeding have been reported with Xenical. Prescribers should investigate further in 

case of severe and/or persistent symptoms. 

The use of an additional contraceptive method is recommended to prevent possible failure of oral 

contraception that could occur in case of severe diarrhoea (see section 4.5). 

Coagulation parameters should be monitored in patients treated with concomitant oral anticoagulants 

(see section 4.5 and 4.8). 

The use of orlistat may be associated with hyperoxaluria and oxalate nephropathy leading sometimes 

to renal failure. This risk is increased in patients with underlying chronic kidney disease and/or 

volume depletion (see section 4.8). 

Rare occurrence of hypothyroidism and/or reduced control of hypothyroidism may occur. The 

mechanism, although not proven, may involve a decreased absorption of iodine salts and/or 

levothyroxine (see section 4.5). 

Antiepileptics patient: Orlistat may unbalance anticonvulsivant treatment by decreasing the absorption 

of antiepileptic drugs, leading to convulsions (see section 4.5). 

Antiretrovirals for HIV: Orlistat may potentially reduce the absorption of antiretroviral medicines for 

HIV and could negatively affect the efficacy of antiretroviral medications for HIV (see section 4.5). 

This medicine contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per capsule, that is to say essentially 

‘sodium-free’. 

4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction 

Ciclosporin 

A decrease in ciclosporin plasma levels has been observed in a drug-drug-interaction study and also 

reported in several cases, when orlistat was administered concomitantly. This can lead to a decrease of 

immunosuppressive efficacy. Therefore the combination is not recommended (see section 4.4). 

However, if such concomitant use is unavoidable, more frequent monitoring of ciclosporin blood 

levels should be performed both after addition of orlistat and upon discontinuation of orlistat in 

ciclosporin treated patients. Ciclosporin blood levels should be monitored until stabilised. 

Acarbose  

In the absence of pharmacokinetic interaction studies, the concomitant administration of orlistat with 

acarbose should be avoided.  

Oral anticoagulants 



4 

When warfarin or other anticoagulants are given in combination with orlistat, international normalised 

ratio (INR) values should be monitored (see section 4.4). 

Fat soluble vitamins 

Treatment with orlistat may potentially impair the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K). 

The vast majority of patients receiving up to four full years of treatment with orlistat in clinical studies 

had vitamin A, D, E and K and beta-carotene levels that stayed within normal range. In order to ensure 

adequate nutrition, patients on a weight control diet should be advised to have a diet rich in fruit and 

vegetables and use of a multivitamin supplement could be considered. If a multivitamin supplement is 

recommended, it should be taken at least two hours after the administration of orlistat or at bedtime. 

Amiodarone  

A slight decrease in plasma levels of amiodarone, when given as a single dose, has been observed in a 

limited number of healthy volunteers who received orlistat concomitantly. In patients receiving 

amiodarone treatment, the clinical relevance of this effect remains unknown but may become 

clinically relevant in some cases. In patients receiving concomitant amiodarone treatment, 

reinforcement of clinical and ECG monitoring is warranted. 

Convulsions have been reported in patients treated concomitantly with orlistat and antiepileptic drugs 

e.g. valproate, lamotrigine, for which a causal relationship to an interaction cannot be excluded.

Therefore, these patients should be monitored for possible changes in the frequency and/or severity of

convulsions.

Rare occurrence of hypothyroidism and/or reduced control of hypothyroidism may occur. The 

mechanism, although not proven, may involve a decreased absorption of iodine salts and/or 

levothyroxine (see section 4.4). 

There are some case reports of reduced efficacy of antiretroviral HIV medicines, antidepressants 

antipsychotics (including lithium) and benzodiazepines coincidental to the initiation of orlistat 

treatment in previously well-controlled patients.  Therefore orlistat treatment should only be initiated 

after careful consideration of the possible impact in these patients. 

Lack of interactions 

No interactions with amitriptyline, atorvastatin, biguanides, digoxin, fibrates, fluoxetine, losartan, 

phenytoin, phentermine, pravastatin, nifedipine Gastrointestinal Therapeutic System (GITS), 

nifedipine slow release, sibutramine or alcohol have been observed. The absence of these interactions 

has been demonstrated in specific drug-drug-interaction studies. 

The absence of an interaction between oral contraceptives and orlistat has been demonstrated in 

specific drug-drug interaction studies. However, orlistat may indirectly reduce the availability of oral 

contraceptives and lead to unexpected pregnancies in some individual cases. An additional 

contraceptive method is recommended in case of severe diarrhoea (see section 4.4). 

4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation 

For orlistat no clinical data on exposed pregnancies are available. 

Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to pregnancy, 

embryonal/foetal development, parturition or postnatal development (see section 5.3). 

Caution should be exercised when prescribing to pregnant women. 

As it is not known whether orlistat is secreted into human milk, orlistat is contra-indicated during 

breast-feeding. 

4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines 

Xenical has no influence on the ability to drive and use machines.

4.8 Undesirable effects 

 

Adverse reactions to orlistat are largely gastrointestinal in nature. The incidence of adverse events 

decreased with prolonged use of orlistat.  

 

Adverse events are listed below by system organ class and frequency.  Frequencies are defined as: 

very common (1/10), common (1/100 to <1/10), uncommon (1/1,000 to <1/100), rare (1/10,000 

to <1/1,000) and very rare (<1/10,000) including isolated reports.   

 

Within each frequency grouping, undesirable effects are presented in order of decreasing seriousness. 

 

The following table of undesirable effects (first year of treatment) is based on adverse events that 

occurred at a frequency of > 2 % and with an incidence  1 % above placebo in clinical trials of 1 and 

2 years duration:

In a 4 year clinical trial, the general pattern of adverse event distribution was similar to that reported 

for the 1 and 2 year studies with the total incidence of gastrointestinal related adverse events occurring 

in year 1 decreasing year on year over the four year period.

The following table of undesirable effects is based on post-marketing spontaneous reports, and 

therefore the frequency remains unknown: 

System organ class Adverse reaction 

Investigations 

Increase in liver transaminases and in alkaline  

phosphatase.  

Decreased prothrombin, increased INR and  

unbalanced anticoagulant treatment resulting in  

variations of haemostatic parameters have been  

reported in patients treated with anticoagulants in 

association with orlistat (see section 4.4 and 4.5) 

Gastrointestinal disorders Rectal bleeding 

Diverticulitis  

Pancreatitis 

Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders 
Bullous eruptions 

Immune system disorders 

Hypersensitivity (e.g. pruritus, rash, urticaria, 

angioedema, bronchospasm and anaphylaxis)  

Hepatobiliary disorders 

Cholelithiasis  

Hepatitis that may be serious. Some fatal cases or 

cases requiring liver transplantation have been 

reported. 

Renal and urinary disorders Oxalate nephropathy that may lead to renal failure 

Reporting of suspected adverse reactions  

Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It 

allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare 

professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting system 

listed in Appendix V*. 

4.9 Overdose 

Single doses of 800 mg orlistat and multiple doses of up to 400 mg three times daily for 15 days have 

been studied in normal weight and obese subjects without significant adverse findings. In addition, 

doses of 240 mg tid have been administered to obese patients for 6 months. The majority of orlistat 

overdose cases received during post-marketing reported either no adverse events or adverse events that 

are similar to those reported with recommended dose. 

Should a significant overdose of orlistat occur, it is recommended that the patient be observed for 24 

hours. Based on human and animal studies, any systemic effects attributable to the lipase-inhibiting 

properties of orlistat should be rapidly reversible. 

5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties 

Pharmaco-therapeutic group: Peripherally acting antiobesity agent, ATC code A08AB01. 

http://www.ema.europa.eu/docs/en_GB/document_library/Template_or_form/2013/03/WC500139752.doc


8 

Orlistat is a potent, specific and long-acting inhibitor of gastrointestinal lipases. It exerts its therapeutic 

activity in the lumen of the stomach and small intestine by forming a covalent bond with the active 

serine site of the gastric and pancreatic lipases. The inactivated enzyme is thus unavailable to 

hydrolyse dietary fat, in the form of triglycerides, into absorbable free fatty acids and monoglycerides. 

In the 2-year studies and the 4-year study, a hypocaloric diet was used in association with treatment in 

both the orlistat and the placebo treated groups. 

Pooled data from five 2 year studies with orlistat and a hypocaloric diet showed that 37 % of orlistat 

patients and 19 % of placebo patients demonstrated a loss of at least 5 % of their baseline body weight 

after 12 weeks of treatment. Of these, 49 % of orlistat treated patients and 40 % of placebo treated 

patients went on to lose ≥ 10 % of their baseline body weight at one year. Conversely, of patients 

failing to demonstrate a loss of 5 % of their baseline body weight after 12 weeks of treatment, only 

5 % of orlistat treated patients and 2 % of placebo treated patients went on to lose ≥ 10 % of their 

baseline body weight at one year. Overall, after one year of treatment, the percentage of patients 

taking 120 mg orlistat who lost 10 % or more of their body weight was 20 % with orlistat 120 mg 

compared to 8 % of patients taking placebo. The mean difference in weight loss with the drug 

compared to placebo was 3.2 kg.  

Data from the 4-year XENDOS clinical trial showed that 60 % of orlistat patients and 35 % of placebo 

patients demonstrated a loss of at least 5 % of their baseline body weight after 12 weeks of treatment. 

Of these, 62 % of orlistat treated patients and 52 % of placebo treated patients went on to lose ≥ 10 % 

of their baseline body weight at one year. Conversely, of patients failing to demonstrate a loss of 5 % 

of their baseline body weight after 12 weeks of treatment, only 5 % of orlistat treated patients and 4 % 

of placebo treated patients went on to lose ≥ 10 % of their baseline body weight at one year. After 

1 year of treatment, 41 % of the orlistat treated patients versus 21 % of placebo treated patients lost 

 10 % of body weight with a mean difference of 4.4 kg between the two groups. After 4 years of 

treatment 21 % of the orlistat treated patients compared to 10 % of the placebo treated patients had lost 

 10 % of body weight, with a mean difference of 2.7 kg.  

More patients on orlistat or placebo lost baseline body weight of at least 5 % at 12 weeks or 10 % at 

one year in the XENDOS study than in the five 2-year studies. The reason for this difference is that the 

five 2-year studies included a 4-week diet and placebo lead-in period during which patients lost on 

average 2.6 kg prior to commencing treatment. 

Data from the 4-year clinical trial also suggested that weight loss achieved with orlistat delayed the 

development of type 2 diabetes during the study (cumulative diabetes cases incidences: 3.4 % in the 

orlistat group compared to 5.4 % in the placebo-treated group). The great majority of diabetes cases 

came from the subgroup of patients with impaired glucose tolerance at baseline, which represented 

21 % of the randomised patients. It is not known whether these findings translate into long-term 

clinical benefits. 

In obese type 2 diabetic patients insufficiently controlled by antidiabetic agents, data from four one-

year clinical trials showed that the percentage of responders ( 10 % of body weight loss) was 11.3 % 

with orlistat as compared to 4.5 % with placebo. In orlistat-treated patients, the mean difference from 

placebo in weight loss was 1.83 kg to 3.06 kg and the mean difference from placebo in HbA1c 

reduction was 0.18 % to 0.55 %. It has not been demonstrated that the effect on HbA1c is independent 

from weight reduction.  

In a multi-centre (US, Canada), parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 539 obese 

adolescent patients were randomised to receive either 120 mg orlistat (n=357) or placebo (n=182) 

three times daily as an adjunct to a hypocaloric diet and exercise for 52 weeks. Both populations 

received multivitamin supplements. The primary endpoint was the change in body mass index (BMI) 

from baseline to the end of the study. 



9 

The results were significantly superior in the orlistat group (difference in BMI of 0.86 kg/m2 in favour 

of orlistat). 9.5 % of the orlistat treated patients versus 3.3 % of the placebo treated patients lost 

≥ 10 % of body weight after 1 year with a mean difference of 2.6 kg between the two groups. The 

difference was driven by the outcome in the group of patients with ≥ 5 % weight loss after 12 weeks of 

treatment with orlistat representing 19 % of the initial population. The side effects were generally 

similar to those observed in adults. However, there was an unexplained increase in the incidence of 

bone fractures (6 % versus 2.8 % in the orlistat and placebo groups, respectively). 

5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties 

Absorption 

Studies in normal weight and obese volunteers have shown that the extent of absorption of orlistat was 

minimal. Plasma concentrations of intact orlistat were non-measurable (< 5 ng/ml) eight hours 

following oral administration of orlistat. 

In general, at therapeutic doses, detection of intact orlistat in plasma was sporadic and concentrations 

were extremely low (< 10 ng/ml or 0.02 µmol), with no evidence of accumulation, which is consistent 

with minimal absorption. 

Distribution 

The volume of distribution cannot be determined because the drug is minimally absorbed and has no 

defined systemic pharmacokinetics. In vitro orlistat is > 99 % bound to plasma proteins (lipoproteins 

and albumin were the major binding proteins). Orlistat minimally partitions into erythrocytes. 

Metabolism 

Based on animal data, it is likely that the metabolism of orlistat occurs mainly within the 

gastrointestinal wall. Based on a study in obese patients, of the minimal fraction of the dose that was 

absorbed systemically, two major metabolites, M1 (4-member lactone ring hydrolysed) and M3 (M1 

with N-formyl leucine moiety cleaved), accounted for approximately 42 % of the total plasma 

concentration.  

M1 and M3 have an open beta-lactone ring and extremely weak lipase inhibitory activity (1000 and 

2500 fold less than orlistat respectively). In view of this low inhibitory activity and the low plasma 

levels at therapeutic doses (average of 26 ng/ml and 108 ng/ml respectively), these metabolites are 

considered to be pharmacologically inconsequential. 

Elimination 

Studies in normal weight and obese subjects have shown that faecal excretion of the unabsorbed drug 

was the major route of elimination. Approximately 97 % of the administered dose was excreted in 

faeces and 83 % of that as unchanged orlistat. 

The cumulative renal excretion of total orlistat-related materials was < 2 % of the given dose. The time 

to reach complete excretion (faecal plus urinary) was 3 to 5 days. The disposition of orlistat appeared 

to be similar between normal weight and obese volunteers. Orlistat, M1 and M3 are all subject to 

biliary excretion. 

5.3 Preclinical safety data 

Non-clinical data reveal no special hazard for humans based on conventional studies of safety 

pharmacology, repeated dose toxicity, genotoxicity, carcinogenic potential, and toxicity to 

reproduction. 

In animal reproductive studies, no teratogenic effect was observed. In the absence of a teratogenic 

effect in animals, no malformative effect is expected in man. To date, active substances responsible for 

malformations in man have been found teratogenic in animals when well-conducted studies were 

performed in two species.

1. What XENICAL is and what it is used for

Xenical is a medicine used to treat obesity. It works in your digestive system to block about one-third 

of the fat in the food you eat from being digested.  

Xenical attaches to the enzymes in your digestive system (lipases) and blocks them from breaking 

down some of the fat you have eaten during your meal. The undigested fat cannot be absorbed and is 

eliminated by your body. 

Xenical is indicated in the treatment of obesity in conjunction with a low calorie intake diet. 

2. What you need to know before you take XENICAL

Do not take XENICAL 

• if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to orlistat or to any of the other ingredients of Xenical,

• if you have chronic malabsorption syndrome (insufficient absorption of nutrients from

alimentary tract),

• if you have cholestasis (liver disorder)

• if you are breast-feeding

Warnings and precautions 

Weight loss may also affect the dose of medicines taken for other conditions (e.g. high cholesterol or 

diabetes). Be sure to discuss these and other medicines you may be taking with your doctor. Losing 

weight may mean you need adjustments to the dose of these medicines. 

To gain the maximum benefit from Xenical you should follow the nutrition program recommended to 

you by your doctor. As with any weight-control program, over-consumption of fat and calories may 

reduce any weight loss effect.  

This medicine can cause harmless changes in your bowel habits, such as fatty or oily stools, due to the 

elimination of undigested fat in your faeces. The possibility of this happening may increase if Xenical 

is taken with a diet high in fat. In addition your daily intake of fat should be distributed evenly over 

three main meals because if Xenical is taken with a meal very high in fat, the possibility of 

gastrointestinal effects may increase. 



23 

The use of an additional contraceptive method is recommended to prevent possible failure of oral 

contraception that could occur in case of severe diarrhoea. 

The use of orlistat may be associated with renal stones in patients suffering from chronic kidney 

disease. Inform your doctor whether you suffer from problems with your kidney. 

This medicine contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per capsule, that is to say essentially 

‘sodium-free’. 

Children 

Xenical is not intended to be used in children. 

Other medicines and Xenical 

Please inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, 

even those not prescribed. 

This is important as using more than one medicine at the same time can strengthen or weaken the 

effects of the medicines. 

Xenical may modify the activity of 

• Anticoagulant drugs (e.g. warfarin). Your doctor may need to monitor your blood coagulation.

• Ciclosporin. Co-administration with ciclosporin is not recommended. Your doctor may need to

monitor your ciclosporin blood levels more frequently than usual.

• Iodine salts and/or levothyroxine. Cases of hypothyroidism and/or reduced control of

hypothyroidism may occur.

• Amiodarone. You may ask your doctor for advice.

• Medicines to treat HIV.

• Medicines for depression, psychiatric disorders or anxiousness

Xenical reduces the absorption of supplements of some fat soluble nutrients, particularly beta-carotene 

and vitamin E. You should therefore follow your doctor’s advice in taking a well balanced diet rich in 

fruit and vegetables. Your doctor may suggest you take a multivitamin supplement. 

Orlistat may unbalance an anticonvulsivant treatment, by decreasing the absorption of antiepileptic 

drugs, thus leading to convulsions. Please contact your doctor if you think that the frequency and/or 

severity of the convulsions have changed when taking Xenical together with antiepileptic drugs. 

Xenical is not recommended for people taking acarbose (an anti-diabetic drug used to treat type 2 

diabetes mellitus). 

Xenical with food and drink 

Xenical can be taken immediately before, during a meal or up to one hour after a meal. The capsule 

should be swallowed with water. 

Pregnancy and breast-feeding 

Taking Xenical during pregnancy is not recommended. 

You must not breast-feed your infant during treatment with Xenical as it is not known whether Xenical 

passes into human milk. 

Driving and using machines 



24 

Xenical has no known effect on your ability to drive a car or operate machinery. 

3. How to take XENICAL

Always take Xenical exactly as your doctor has told you. You should check with your doctor or 

pharmacist if you are not sure. The usual dose of Xenical is one 120 mg capsule taken with each of the 

three main meals per day. It can be taken immediately before, during a meal or up to one hour after a 

meal. The capsule should be swallowed with water. 

Xenical should be taken with a well-balanced, calorie controlled diet that is rich in fruit and vegetables 

and contains an average of 30 % of the calories from fat. Your daily intake of fat, carbohydrate and 

protein should be distributed over three meals. This means you will usually take one capsule at 

breakfast time, one capsule at lunch time and one capsule at dinner time. To gain optimal benefit, 

avoid the intake of food containing fat between meals, such as biscuits, chocolate and savoury snacks. 

Xenical only works in the presence of dietary fat. Therefore, if you miss a main meal or if you have a 

meal containing no fat, Xenical need not be taken. 

Tell your doctor if, for any reason, you have not taken your medicine exactly as prescribed. Otherwise, 

your doctor may think that it was not effective or well tolerated and may change your treatment 

unnecessarily. 

Your doctor will discontinue the treatment with Xenical after 12 weeks if you have not lost at least 

5 % of your body weight as measured at the start of treatment with Xenical. 

Xenical has been studied in long-term clinical studies of up to 4 years duration. 

If you take more XENICAL than you should 

If you take more capsules than you have been told to take, or if someone else accidentally takes your 

medicine, contact a doctor, pharmacist or hospital as you may need medical attention. 

If you forget to take XENICAL 

If you forget to take your medicine at any time, take it as soon as you remember provided this is 

within one hour of your last meal, then continue to take it at the usual times. Do not take a double 

dose. If you have missed several doses, please inform your doctor and follow the advice given to you. 

Do not change the prescribed dose yourself unless your doctor tells you to. 

If you have further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist. 

4. Possible side effects

Like all medicines, Xenical can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. 

Tell your doctor or pharmacist as soon as possible if you do not feel well while you are taking Xenical. 

The majority of unwanted effects related to the use of Xenical result from its local action in your 

digestive system. These symptoms are generally mild, occur at the beginning of treatment and are 

particularly experienced after meals containing high levels of fat. Normally, these symptoms disappear 

if you continue treatment and keep to your recommended diet. 

Very common side effects (affects more than 1 user in 10) 

Headache, abdominal pain/discomfort, urgent or increased need to open the bowels, flatulence (wind) 

with discharge, oily discharge, oily or fatty stools, liquid stools, low blood sugar levels (experienced 

by some people with type 2 diabetes). 



25 

Common side effects (affects 1 to 10 users in 100) 

Rectal pain/discomfort, soft stools, incontinence (stools), bloating (experienced by some people with 

type 2 diabetes), tooth/gum disorder, irregularity of menstrual cycle, tiredness. 

The following side effects have also been reported but their frequency cannot be estimated from the 

available data: 

Allergic reactions. The main symptoms are itching, rash, wheals (slightly elevated, itchy skin patches 

that are paler or redder than surrounding skin), severe difficulty in breathing, nausea, vomiting and 

feeling unwell. Skin blistering (including blisters that burst). Diverticulitis. Bleeding from the back 

passage (rectum). Increases in the levels of some liver enzymes may be found in blood tests. Hepatitis 

(inflammation of the liver). Symptoms can include yellowing skin and eyes, itching, dark coloured 

urine, stomach pain and liver tenderness (indicated by pain under the front of the rib cage on your 

right hand side), sometimes with loss of appetite. Stop Xenical if such symptoms occur and tell your 

doctor. Gallstones. Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). Oxalate nephropathy (build up of 

calcium oxalate which may lead to kidney stones). See Chapter 2, take special care with Xenical. 

Effects on clotting with anti-coagulants. 

Reporting of side effects 

If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. This includes any possible side effects 

not listed in this leaflet. You can also report side effects directly via the national reporting system

{'Title': '3. how to take xenical', 'Section_Content': 'always take xenical exactly as your doctor has told you. you should check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure. the usual dose of xenical is one 120 mg capsule taken with each of the three main meals per day. it can be taken immediately before, during a meal or up to one hour after a meal. the capsule should be swallowed with water. xenical should be taken with a well-balanced, calorie controlled diet that is rich in fruit and vegetables and contains an average of 30 % of the calories from fat. your daily intake of fat, carbohydrate and protein should be distributed over three meals. this means you will usually take one capsule at breakfast time, one capsule at lunch time and one capsule at dinner time. to gain optimal benefit, avoid the intake of food containing fat between meals, such as biscuits, chocolate and savoury snacks. xenical only works in the presence of dietary fat. therefore, if you miss a main meal or if you have a meal containing no fat, xenical need not be taken. tell your doctor if, for any reason, you have not taken your medicine exactly as prescribed. otherwise, your doctor may think that it was not effective or well tolerated and may change your treatment unnecessarily. your doctor will discontinue the treatment with xenical after 12 weeks if you have not lost at least 5 % of your body weight as measured at the start of treatment with xenical. xenical has been studied in long-term clinical studies of up to 4 years duration. if you take more xenical than you should if you take more capsules than you have been told to take, or if someone else accidentally takes your medicine, contact a doctor, pharmacist or hospital as you may need medical attention. if you forget to take xenical if you forget to take your medicine at any time, take it as soon as you remember provided this is within one hour of your last meal, then continue to take it at the usual times. do not take a double dose. if you have missed several doses, please inform your doctor and follow the advice given to you. do not change the prescribed dose yourself unless your doctor tells you to. if you have further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.', 'Entity_Recognition': [{'Text': 'xenical', 'Type': 'PRODUCT_NAME', 'BeginOffset': 0, 'EndOffset': 0}, {'Id': 0,

{'Title': '4. possible side effects', 'Section_Content': 'like all medicines, xenical can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. tell your doctor or pharmacist as soon as possible if you do not feel well while you are taking xenical. the majority of unwanted effects related to the use of xenical result from its local action in your digestive system. these symptoms are generally
