Xenical is a prescription medication that is designed to help people who are significantly overweight lose weight and keep it off. Orlistat is the active ingredient in this weight loss pill marketed by GlaxoSmithKline in the UK. The main function of Xenical is to prevent the absorption of dietary fats, thus keeping calorie intake under control.

Xenical is a diet pill that absorbs fat

Xenical belongs to a group of drugs known as diet pills. Basically, diet pills can be classified as a) fat burners, b) fat absorbers, and c) appetite suppressants. Fat burners or metabolic enhancers work by increasing the metabolic rate to burn unwanted fat and extra calories in the body. Appetite suppressants work by curbing hunger. Finally, fat absorbers work in the digestive tract to prevent the absorption of up to 30% of dietary fat. Xenical belongs to the category of fat absorbers that should be taken in conjunction with a balanced diet and regular exercise for the most effective results.

Can Xenical be taken with other medications?

You should tell your doctor about all the medicines you are currently taking (including herbal products and over-the-counter medicines) to find out if you can take the Xenical pill. In particular, if you are taking thyroxine or cyclosporine, tell your doctor before you start taking Xenical. Xenical and cyclosporine should be taken at least two hours apart.

obesity and sex

As quoted by J. Stephen Jones, MD, of the Cleveland Clinic Lerner School of Medicine, “The closer you are to your ideal weight, the better your sexual health.” Obesity treatment can make your sex life shine significantly in the following ways:

High self-esteem: Losing weight makes people feel attractive and sexually confident, which can increase self-esteem.

Longer duration of sexual intercourse – Fatigue is the most common factor that affects the sexual life of an obese person. Losing weight improves blood circulation in the body and ensures good sexual performance.

Increased sexual desire: An obese person tends to have reduced testosterone and poor hormonal function. Weight loss restores the normal level of testosterone and increases sexual desire.

Sexual behavior – The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists conducted a study that showed that obese women tend to be less likely to seek birth control or birth control. Overweight and obese women have been found to be five times more likely to have met their partner online compared to normal weight women. Whether it’s due to peer pressure, low self-esteem, or body image concerns, the fact is that obese women can put their sex lives at risk by indulging in unsafe sexual behavior.
