Xenical’s standard dosage is one 120mg capsule taken with each main meal containing fat. This means you’ll take up to three capsules daily. However, exceeding three capsules a day won’t increase weight loss and could increase side effects.
Don’t take Xenical if your meal is fat-free. The medication works by blocking fat absorption; without fat, it’s ineffective and unnecessary.
Adjusting your dosage is Not recommended without consulting your doctor. Self-adjusting could lead to adverse effects or hinder treatment efficacy.
Certain factors influence your doctor’s dosage recommendation, including:
| Your weight and BMI | Higher BMI may necessitate a stricter adherence to the prescribed dosage. |
| Your overall health | Underlying health conditions might require dosage adjustments or alternative treatments. |
| Your diet and lifestyle | A healthy diet and regular exercise are crucial for maximizing results; dosage is often tailored to complement these factors. |
| Response to treatment | Your doctor will monitor your progress and adjust the dosage if necessary. |
Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. They’ll provide personalized guidance based on your individual needs and health profile.
