And there are a great many methods to achieve the ideal!
How to win the war with extra pounds without much effort and not spend your nerves and money? Is there a miracle cure for slimming? Is it possible to lose weight and stay he althy? You will find answers to all questions in this article.
Common Truths
Most nutritionists say that the best solution to the problem of excess weight is proper nutrition and sports. And indeed, if you do not exceed the daily calorie intake, observe the proportions of the ratio of proteins, fats, carbohydrates and attend fitness classes a couple of times a week, success is guaranteed.
Several well-known weight loss experts insist that by eliminating carbohydrates alone, you can lose kilograms withoutexhausting sports. However, they also recommend light jogging or brisk walking. In a word, without monitoring nutrition and physical activity, the result is unlikely to be achieved.
Miracle pills
Not every person has such willpower that will not allow you to eat a piece of delicious pie and make you go to the sports complex or swimming pool after work. What to do for those who cannot refuse sweets and do not like sports? Don't despair!
Pharmacist scientists have taken this moment into account and developed a huge number of dietary supplements that help to find a beautiful body without food restrictions and endless workouts. As a rule, these drugs are available in the form of tablets and capsules, each of which contains components that dull the feeling of hunger and break down fats. Especially popular among such products is Xenical, produced by the Swiss company Roche
Composition and action
"Xenical" are turquoise gelatin pills, each of which contains a substance that acts on pancreatic and gastric lipases, thereby reducing the absorption of fats in the intestines. Simply put, the fat that comes with food is not absorbed by the body and is not deposited on our sides. This magical substance is called orlistat.
Many overweight doctors have prescribed Xenical as an aid in weight loss. Analogues (cheap substitutes for Swiss diet pills) appeared inpharmacies not immediately. Until 2007, only the product we reviewed contained the miracle drug.
Today, orlistat is the main component of not only the expensive Swiss drug Xenical. An analogue is cheaper, but no worse, can be found in almost any pharmacy. For reference: as of February 2016, a package of Xenical containing 21 capsules cost about 800 rubles. And given that the drug is taken 2-3 times a day, the total amount will be impressive! The analogue of "Xenical" receives a positive review, but it costs much cheaper than the original.
Pharmacy plagiarism
Inexpensive generics (analogues) are available for every expensive drug, from cough medicine to hair loss remedy. The same applies to the drug "Xenical". An analogue is cheaper than advertised tablets, it can cost an order of magnitude lower, but this does not mean that it is worse. Do not forget that the price of the drug depends on advertising, the country of origin and the dollar exchange rate.
Comparative analysis
To find an analogue of "Xenical" cheaper, we conducted a study and found three generic drugs at once. These are Xen alten, Listata, and Orsoten. Let's consider each of them in more detail, compare the composition, price and find out which option will outweigh the bowl of imaginary scales. How effective is Xenical? Analog is cheaper, but does this mean that he is worse?
Just to clarify: each Xenical capsule contains 120 mg of orlistat, as well as excipients such as talc and microcrystalline cellulose.
Xen alten
The availability of this drug in pharmacies will please those who are looking for an analogue of "Xenical" cheaper. Orlistat is the active ingredient in these weight loss pills. As in Xenical, each Xen alten tablet contains 120 mg of the main substance. And the price is about 680 rubles for 21 tablets.
Consequently, this is a worthy and more affordable analogue of "Xenical". Consumer reviews about Xen alten confirm that there are no differences between these two drugs. Except for the price.
Listata
This is another relatively inexpensive analogue of "Xenical." The main active ingredient is the same orlistat in the amount of 120 mg per 1 capsule. In addition, Listata contains a component that is not found in Xenical - gum arabic. This substance can bind and remove from the body about half of undigested fats.
The combination of these two powerful ingredients truly works wonders! If we compare "Listat" and "Xenical" - the analogue is cheaper. A package of "Listata" of 30 tablets costs around 750 rubles. Consider for yourself: more pills - less price, but better effect!
Orsoten
Among people who are struggling with overweight, there is an opinionthat "Orsoten" is the most accurate copy of the drug "Xenical". Analogues (cheap and not very), which we wrote about above, are no worse. However, it is Orsoten that is considered the most popular generic of Xenical. Why?
The fact is that this drug appeared in pharmacies in 2009 and became the first affordable generic Xenical, in those years inaccessible to most people who want to lose weight because of the exorbitant cost.
Accordingly, in terms of price-quality ratio "Orsoten" beat all records in terms of popularity. The composition and action of this drug are completely identical to Xenical: the same orlistat (120 mg per capsule), the same microcrystalline cellulose. The difference was only in the color of the capsules.
By the way, today "Orsoten" is the cheapest analogue of "Xenical". The drug costs only about 550 rubles for a pack of 21 capsules.
Do no harm
Like any medication, Xenical and its analogues have a number of contraindications. Losing weight with these capsules is strongly discouraged:
- children and adolescents under 18;
- pregnant women;
- nursing mothers;
- people suffering from chronic malabsorption syndrome and cholestasis.
Also, while taking diet pills, side effects may occur, such as:
- oily (fatty) stools;
- diarrhea and/or frequent urinationdefecation;
- sense of discomfort in the abdomen;
- headaches;
- feeling anxious;
- hypoglycemia (low blood sugar);
- allergy;
- flu, SARS, acute respiratory infections;
- menstrual cycle failure;
- upper respiratory infections.
Remember - no figure, even the most ideal, is worth ruined he alth! Before taking any, even the most effective drugs for weight loss, carefully read the instructions and be sure to consult with your doctor!
