Xenical Usage

Xenical is indicated for obesity management including weight loss and weight maintenance when used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet. Xenical is also indicated to reduce the risk for weight regain after prior weight loss. Xenical is indicated for obese patients with an initial body mass index (BMI) = 30 kg/m2 or = 27 kg/m2 in the presence of other risk factors (eg, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia).

Table 8 illustrates body mass index (BMI) according to a variety of weights and heights. The BMI is calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by height in meters squared. For example, a person who weighs 180 lbs and is 5'5" would have a BMI of 30.

Table 8 Body Mass Index (BMI), kg/m2*

WEIGHT (lb)
		120	130	140	150	160	170	180	190	200	210	220	230	240	250	260	270	280	290	300	310	320
* ConversionFactors: Weight in lbs ÷ 2.2 = weight in kilograms (kg) Height in inches × 0.0254 = height in meters (m) 1 foot= 12 inches
