Xenical Fat Blockers and Diet Pill

Xenical is famous prescription only 120mg orlistat diet pill.This is the diet pill that works for 101% sure. But the problem is, it is meant to only extremely obese people due to its dangerous side effects.

Due to the frightening side effects, it has been brought under “Prescription Only” Category.

How does Xenical Orlistat Work?

Xenical Orlistat works by inhibiting or preventing pancreatic lipase, an enzyme that breaks down triglycerides (fat) in the intestine and forms fat. Without this enzyme, fat from the diet are prevented from being hydrolyzed into absorbable free fatty acids and are excreted undigested. At the standard prescription dose of 120 mg three times daily before meals, orlistat prevents approximately 30% of dietary fat from being absorbed.

Simply put, Xenical Orliststat prevents the Fat forming enzymes and thus prevents fat absorption upto 30%.
