Taking Xenical for 2 years

Question: I have taken orlistat (xenical) for almost two years but have not been taking it regularly...like only 1 capsule a day for about 3 days a week. Do I have to stop taking it now in compliance to the 2-year limit of usage? Thank you

Answer:You should always adhere to the treatment guide and dosaging information as provided by the manufacturer and the prescribing doctor. Please always read the patient leaflet carefully as it contains useful and important information about your medicine. Xenical is indicated for use up to 2 years, which means that you should not exceed this period of time even if you have not taken the medicine as indicated. Please consult your prescribing doctor, you might be able to start a course of Xenical at a later stage.
