Ксеналтен Лого
Ксеналтен Лого Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Ксеналтен Лого is a reversible inhibitor of gastrointestinal lipase. It exerts its therapeutic activity in the lumen of the stomach and small intestine by forming a covalent bond with the active serine residue site of gastric and pancreatic lipase. The inactivated enzymes are thus unavailable to hydrolyze dietary fat in the form of triglycerides into absorbable free fatty acids and monoglycerides. As undigested triglycerides are not absorbed, the resulting caloric deficit may have a positive effect on weight control.
Ксеналтен Лого helps with weight reduction and maintenance by inhibiting the absorption of dietary fats via the inhibition of lipase enzymes.

How Ксеналтен Лого works
Ксеналтен Лого is a potent and selective inhibitor of various lipase enzymes responsible for the metabolism of fat. It acts in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract via covalent binding to the serine residues located on the active site of both gastric and pancreatic lipase. When orlistat is taken with food containing fat, it partially inhibits the hydrolysis of triglycerides. This decreases absorption of monoaclglycerides and free fatty acids, contributing to weight maintenance and weight loss.
Dosage
Ксеналтен Лого dosage
The recommended dose of Ксеналтен Лого is one 60 mg or 120 mg capsule three times a day with each main meal containing fat (during or up to 1 hour after the meal). The patient should be on a nutritionally balanced, reduced-calorie diet that contains approximately 30% of calories from fat. The daily intake of fat, carbohydrate, and protein should be distributed over three main meals. If a meal is occasionally missed or contains no fat, the dose of Ксеналтен Лого can be omitted.
Because Ксеналтен Лого has been shown to reduce the absorption of some fat-soluble vitamins and beta-carotene, patients should be counseled to take a multivitamin containing fat-soluble vitamin to ensure adequate nutrition. The vitamin supplement should be taken at least 2 hours before or after the administration of Ксеналтен Лого, such as at bedtime.

Single orlistat doses of 800 mg and multiple doses of up to 400 mg three times a day for 15 days have been administered to healthy weight and obese subjects without clinically significant adverse findings. In addition, doses of 240 mg three times a day have been given to obese patients for 6 months without a significant adverse effects. Post-marketing reports of overdoses cases indicate no adverse events or adverse events that are similar to those reported with the recommended dose. If a significant overdose with orlistat occurs, the patient should be observed for at least 24 hours. Based on the results of clinical studies, systemic effects caused by orlistat are likely to be rapidly reversible.
Precaution
Patients should be advised to adhere to dietary guidelines. gastrointestinal events may increase when orlistat is taken with a diet high in fat (>30% of calories from fat). The daily intake of fat should be distributed over three main meals. If a meal is missed, the dose of orlistat may be omitted.
Interaction
May reduce the absorption of iodine salts and/or levothyroxine, fat-soluble vit (A, D, E, K) and beta carotene. May decrease plasma levels of ciclosporin and amiodarone. May decrease the efficacy of antiepileptic drugs (e.g. valproate, lamotrigine), antiretrovirals, antidepressants, antipsychotics (including lithium).

- Take with food. Take with meals or up to 1 hour after a meal. Doses may be skipped for missed meals or fat-free meals.
Ксеналтен Лого multivitamins interaction
[Minor] Ксеналтен Лого decreases the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
Studies have shown a 30% reduction in beta-carotene absorption and a 60% reduction in tocopherol acetate absorption when coadministered with orlistat.
Vitamin supplements should be taken at least two hours before or after orlistat administration.

Elimination Route
The systemic absorption and exposure of orlistat is low, however, systemic absorption of the drug is not required for orlistat activity. After an oral dose with 360 mg of radiolabeled orlistat, plasma radioactivity achieved a peak at about 8 hours. Plasma concentrations of unchanged parent drug were close to the lower end of detection limits (15
Half Life
The half-life of orlistat of the small amount of absorbed orlistat ranges between 1-2 hours.
Elimination Route
After single oral dose of radiolabled orlistat in both normal weight and obese volunteers fecal excretion of the unabsorbed drug was found to be the major route of elimination with 11,20 Fecal elimination of orlistat is estimated between 95-97%. Complete excretion by both routes occurs within in 3 to 5 days.
