Take one Xenical 60 mg capsule three times daily, with each main meal containing fat. Avoid taking the capsule without a fatty meal; absorption is significantly improved when taken with food containing fat.
What to do if you miss a dose
If you miss a dose, simply skip it and take your next dose with your next fatty meal. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
Important administration notes
Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, crush, or open the capsule. The capsule’s contents may cause irritation to the mouth and throat. Xenical is most effective when combined with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet and regular exercise. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice regarding your diet and exercise plan.
