Xenical - pro and contra.

uses of Xenical Xenical is used along with a doctor-approved reduced-calorie diet, exercise, and behavior modification program to help significantly overweight ( obese ) persons lose weight. Taking Xenical can also help prevent we from regaining weight we have lost. Losing weight and keeping it off can reduce the many health risks that come with obesity, including heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, some forms of cancer, certain breathing problems, and a shorter lifespan.

Dietary fats need to be broken down into smaller pieces before the body can absorb them. Xenical works by blocking the enzyme that breaks down fats in your diet. This undigested fat then passes out of your body in your bowel movement. Xenical does not block the absorption of calories from sugar and other non-fat foods, so we still need to restrict your total intake of calories.

how to use of Xenical Read the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start taking Xenical and each time we get a refill. If we have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Take Xenical by mouth with liquid sometime during each main meal that contains fat or within 1 hour after the meal, usually 3 times daily or as directed by your doctor. If we occasionally miss a meal or your meal contains no fat, skip that dose of the medication. To decrease the chance of unpleasant side effects, it is very important that no more than 30% of calories in your diet come from fat. Your daily intake of fat, protein, and carbohydrate should be evenly spread over 3 main meals.

Because Xenical can interfere with absorption of certain vitamins ( fat-soluble vitamins including A, D, E, K ) , a daily multivitamin supplement containing these nutrients is recommended. Take multivitamin at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking Xenical ( e. g. , at bedtime ) .

If we take cyclosporine, take it at least 2 hours before or after Xenical to make sure full dose of cyclosporine is absorbed into your bloodstream.

We should see some weight loss within 2 weeks after you start Xenical. Tell your doctor if your condition doesn't improve or if it worsens.

side effects of Xenical Changes in your bowel function frequently occur because of the unabsorbed fat. Fatty/oily stool, oily spotting, intestinal gas with discharge, a feeling of needing to have a bowel movement right away, increased number of bowel movements, or poor bowel control may occur while use Xenical. These side effects may get worse if we eat more fat than we should. If these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly.

Remember that your doctor has prescribed Xenical because he or she has judged that benefit to we is greater than risk of side effects. Many people using Xenical don't have serious side effects.

A very serious allergic reaction to Xenical is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include:

This isn't a complete list of possible side effects. If we notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Xenical should not be used if we have certain medical conditions. Before using this medicine, consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have:

Before using Xenical, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of:

If we are diabetic, weight loss may improve your blood sugar control. Be sure to check your blood sugar regularly and tell your doctor results. Your diet or medications may need to be adjusted.

It's not known whether Xenical passes into breast milk. Because of possible risk to infant, breast-feeding while using this drug is not recommended. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.

interactions of Xenical See also How to Use section.

Your healthcare professionals ( e. g. , doctor or pharmacist ) may already be aware of any possible drug interactions and may be monitoring we for them. Don't start, stop or change dosage of any medicine before checking with them first.

Tell your doctor of all prescription and nonprescription medication you use, especially of:

Food and Drug Administration Approves IntelliDOT ( R ) Blood Product Administration ( TM ) - Solution Extends Patient Safety From The Blood Bank To The Bedside

IntelliDOT Corporation, a leading provider of wireless, handheld, barcode point-of-care ( BPOC ) solutions to hospitals, today announced that U. S. Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) has granted 510 ( k ) clearance for IntelliDOT Blood Product Administration ( IntelliDOT BPA™ ) for commercial sale.

This new solution is a point-of-care Transfusion Safety Management System composed of computers, a software application, wireless handheld barcode scanners and wireless printers. IntelliDOT BPA assists nurses, phlebotomists and laboratory personnel in assuring blood samples are drawn from correct patients, assists laboratory personnel in accurate matching of blood samples with correct blood or blood products, and assists nursing personnel in administering blood or blood products to correct patient. It also enables immediate documentation of any adverse reaction data when needed.

" The FDA approval for IntelliDOT Blood Product Administration advances our corporate mission to provide innovative and easy-to-adopt, point-of-care solutions to enhance patient safety, improve nurse efficiency, and help hospitals reduce risk and liability, " said Thomas G. Klopack, President and CEO of IntelliDOT. " With this latest addition, IntelliDOT extends its ability to support improved quality of care across the full spectrum of patient needs. "

IntelliDOT BPA helps hospitals meet JCAHO standards for patient identification, and assists in ensuring accurate management, administration and documentation of blood/blood product administration in following ways:

-- Matches patient wristband barcodes to blood sample label barcodes when collected at bedside

-- Assists laboratory personnel with matching blood product label barcodes and barcodes on specimen tubes

-- Prints an accessory " bag tag " for the blood/blood product which further identifies blood/blood product for correct patient

-- Prompts blood bank professionals to confirm that label matches tag before attaching it to blood product bag

-- Alerts nurse if there is a blood product tag to patient wristband mismatch prior to blood/blood product transfusion so the transfusion doesn't continue

" IntelliDOT BPA assists nurses and phlebotomists in providing step-by-step accuracy and crystal-clear communication among all clinicians involved in complex blood product administration process, " said David Swenson R. Ph, Co-Founder and Chief Clinical Officer of IntelliDOT. " We're excited to expand benefits of IntelliDOT CAREt� System by adding this end- to-end blood administration safety and workflow system that'll assist hospitals in preventing life-threatening blood transfusion errors -- from the blood bank to bedside. "

The latest addition to the IntelliDOT solution portfolio incorporates multiple workflows including blood acquisition, cross match, and transfusion -- including timed reminders to assure nurses complete patient checks. This ensures prompt and accurate patient observations and documentation. The system also provides alerts when blood is ready, reminds the nurse to start transfusion or to return blood to Blood Bank to avoid wastage, and alerts nurse to check patient at configurable intervals during the transfusion.

IntelliDOT BPA is an integrated module of the IntelliDOT CAREt System, the first wireless, nurse-centric workflow manager to connect caregivers with information systems they need at the point-of-care. The other currently available modules in the CAREt System include: IntelliDOT Bedside Medication Administration™ , IntelliDOT Phlebotomy Specimen Collection™ , IntelliDOT Mother-Baby Breast Milk Matching™ , and IntelliDOT Vital Signs Collection™ .

Built on a design that complements way nurses work, CAREt System provides a straightforward user interface that supports a comprehensive approach to medication safety and documentation at bedside, in a variety of healthcare settings. The lightweight, wireless CAREt handheld enables nurses to perform safety checks and safely administer medications at bedside with just one hand.
