Xenical
Xenical, containing the active ingredient Orlistat, is primarily used to support weight loss efforts in adults.

When taken with a reduced-calorie diet, Xenical can significantly aid in weight management. The medication is typically prescribed for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with associated risk factors such as hypertension or diabetes.
