New data show fast and significant weight loss with Xenical sustained over time

Xenical achieved improvements in:
  • Waist circumference: An average reduction of 10.8 cm was achieved after one year. Excess fat around the waist is associated with insulin resistance, high blood sugar, high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure
  • Blood pressure (bp): In patients with hypertension, mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure were reduced by 18.1mmHg and 9.9mmHg respectively
  • Cholesterol: The lipid profile of patients was markedly improved: mean LDL-cholesterol (bad cholesterol) levels were reduced by 10.7 per cent and mean total cholesterol levels by 6.8 per cent

The reductions in blood pressure are a key finding as the number of overweight people with hypertension is almost three times higher than the number of adults with a healthy weight. 3 Xenical is the only prescription weight-loss medication, which can be used in patients with hypertension or uncontrolled hypertension.4

Xenicals mode of action is unique. Unlike appetite suppressants, which have a history of withdrawals because of safety concerns, Xenical does not act on the central nervous system. As a result of Xenicals non-systemic mode of action, it has a safety and tolerability profile, which makes it appropriate for use in a wide range of people. This is particularly important within the area of overweight / obesity, where a significant number of people suffer from, or are at risk of cardiovascular disease.
