Hope this helps.   You could try one then go on to the other??

Now that reductil has been taken off the shelves I wonder if xenical with be on the increase?? x    cindy74 02-09-2010 @ 7:15 PM                           reply Member Joined: Jan 2010 hey there So whats the deal with these two? are they both off the market now or is it just the reds? i really want to try xenical but not sure i can take it with champix? does anybody know if you can take them both at same time?

With regards to the xenical, does that mean that you have leaks of fatty deposits? or does it mean that your faeces is full of the fat? Do you know what types of foods you should avoid eating whilst on it? and whether you can take it with Intrinsa? judith
