Side Effects
Loose stools and increased gas or flatulence. These symptoms are generally
mild, occur at the beginning of Xenical treatment, go away after a short
period of time and are particularly experienced after meals containing
high levels of fat. Normally, these symptoms disappear if you continue
Xenical treatment and keep to your recommended diet.
Precautions
Xenical can cause changes in your bowel habits, such as fatty or oily stools,
due to the elimination of undigested fat in your stool. 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.
Notes
