Advanced Medical Weight Loss Centers offer a variety of weight loss programs, utilizing prescription medications, medical supervision and controlled diets... XENICAL is an oral prescription weight loss medication that works in your intestines , where it blocks 30% of the fat you eat from being absorbed. This undigested fat is then eliminated in the bowel movements. XENICAL should be used together with a reduced-calorie diet. XENICAL may be right for you if you are considerably overweight (at least 30% above ideal body weight, or a body mass index of 30 or greater). XENICAL may also be right for you if you are overweight (at least 20% above ideal body weight, or a body mass index of 27 or greater) and also have other risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease or diabetes. MERIDIA is the first in a new class of drugs--serotonin and norepinephrine uptake inhibitors, or SRNI's--approved for the treatment of obesity.
