Implementation
Do not confuse Xenical (orlistat) with Xeloda (capecitabine).
: Administer one capsule 3 times daily with or up to 1 hour after a meal. If a meal is missed or contains no fat, dose of orlistat can be omitted.
» A supplemental multivitamin containing vitamins A, D, E, K, and beta-carotene should be taken daily, at least 2 hr before or after orlistat dose.
Psyllium 6 g with each dose or 12 g at bedtime may decrease GI side effects.
orlistat has been found in Davis's Drug Guide
