Does xenical cause weight loss?

Dr. Kenneth Foreman answered

Specializes in Bariatrics

Minimally: A study comparing this to diet only revealed weight loss of 13.4 pounds in one year with xenical, compared to 5.8 pounds with diet alone. The best way to lose weight is eating a healthy diet combined with 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise daily.
