Side Effects of Xenical:
Urgent or increased need to open the bowels; Flatulence (wind) with discharge; Oily discharge; Oily or fatty stools.
These side effects are found to be mild in nature and occur mostly when a person starts taking Xenical. This is because at the onset of Xenical treatment, your body is not used to fat-inhibitors. But as your body gradually adjusts to the medication, you will see these effects reduce till they disappear completely.
These unpleasant effects of Xenical are particularly experienced after meals containing high levels of fat. Hence, these unpleasant effects disappear if one sticks to recommended diet and continues treatment as usual.
Side Effects of Reductil:
Nervousness, anxiety, mild headache, dizziness, restlessness, insomnia, dry mouth, constipation are some of the less severe side effects. Some Reductil side effects such as allergic reaction, difficulty breathing, closing of the throat, lip swelling, tongue, face, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, severe headache, blurred vision or seizures tend to be of severe nature.

Most importantly you should change your lifestyle in terms of eating habits and physical activity while taking this medicine, so that you are able to maintain your new weight after you have stopped treatment. Your doctor should advise you on the changes you need to make and continue to monitor your weight after you stop treatment. If you don’t change your lifestyle you may regain the weight you have lost.
