Xenical Oral

Dosage and Storage


Generic Name: ORLISTAT - ORAL
Pronounced: (OR-lih-stat)

Xenical Oral Overdose

If overdose is suspected, contact your local poison control center or emergency room immediately. US residents can call the US national poison hotline at 1-800-222-1222. Canadian residents should call their local poison control center directly.

Xenical Oral Missed Dose

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it has been more than 1-2 hours since your meal. In that case, skip the missed dose since most of the fat from your meal will already be absorbed and the medication will not work. Do not double the dose to catch up.
