In australia xenical can be purchased; a reason why i shouldnt take xenical?

Not much, but...: Why are you taking it? It will help you to lose weight, on the order of 2-3kg of weight loss, and it will help to lower your cholesterol by blocking dietary fat absorption. However, most of its effect is in teaching patients what to not eat. When you eat a food high in fat, it will definitely remind you to avoid it, by giving you oily, explosive diarrhea and flatulence.
