Xenical is a gastrointestinal lipase inhibitor. Enzymes in your intestinal tract, called lipases, help digest fat. Xenical works only in the digestive system. It does NOT change your appetite. When you take Xenical with meals, Xenical attaches to the lipases and blocks them from breaking down some of the fat you have eaten, thereby reducing the number of calories you get from a meal. Xenical works in your intestines, where it blocks some of the fat you eat from being absorbed. This undigested fat is then eliminated in your bowel movements. It works by blocking the digestion of fats from the diet. If you eat an excessive amount of fat or calories, the excess is stored as fat by the body, resulting in weight gain. Excess weight has been proven to contribute to an increased risk of developing many medical problems, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, and diabetes. Xenical works in your digestive system to block about one-third of the fat in the food you eat from being digested.
