Xepa Aslene 120mg Capsule 30s
RM 55.00
Xepa Aslene 120mg Capsule is a locally manufactured prescription medicine belonging to the gastrointestinal lipase inhibitor drug class, with orlistat as its active pharmaceutical ingredient — produced by Xepa-Soul Pattinson (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd in Melaka and registered with the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Authority (NPRA) of Malaysia. As with all medicines, Xepa Aslene 120mg can cause side effects, and the most commonly reported ones are gastrointestinal in nature — including oily or fatty stools, oily spotting on underwear, increased urgency to pass stools (sometimes with an inability to control bowel movements), and flatulence with oily discharge — effects that are generally more pronounced when high-fat meals are consumed. It is important that you take this medicine only under the supervision of a registered doctor, follow a low-fat, calorie-controlled diet as directed, inform your healthcare provider of all other medications you are currently taking, and take a daily fat-soluble multivitamin supplement (containing Vitamins A, D, E, K, and beta-carotene) at a different time of day from Aslene — as this medicine reduces the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. As a prescription-only medicine in Malaysia, you will need a valid prescription from an MMC-registered doctor before purchasing, and you should only buy from a licensed pharmacy or verified online platform to ensure you receive a genuine, NPRA-registered product.
Xepa Aslene 120mg Capsule is taken orally — swallow the capsule whole with a full glass of water during a meal or up to one hour after a meal that contains fat; do not chew or crush the capsule. If a meal is missed, or if the meal you are eating contains no fat at all, you should skip that particular dose of Aslene — there is no need to take the capsule if there is no dietary fat present for it to act upon. Always follow your doctor’s specific instructions regarding dosing timing, dietary guidelines, and the use of a daily fat-soluble vitamin supplement to be taken separately from this medication.
The recommended dose for adults and adolescents aged 12 years and above is one capsule (120mg) taken three times daily — with each of the three main fat-containing meals of the day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) — with a maximum of three capsules (360mg) in any 24-hour period; doses higher than 120mg three times daily have not been shown to provide additional clinical benefit. This medication is generally not recommended for children under 12 years of age, and patients with organ transplants, renal impairment, or hepatic impairment should only use Aslene under strict medical supervision with dose and safety adjustments as determined by their doctor.
Xepa Aslene 120mg Capsule has a manufacturer-stated shelf life clearly printed on both the outer carton and individual blister strip packaging — always check this date before taking a capsule. Do not consume this medication after the stated expiration date, even if the capsule appears visually unchanged, as chemical and physical degradation over time may affect the potency and safety profile of the product. Properly stored, unopened blister packs will retain their full pharmaceutical quality for the duration printed on the manufacturer’s packaging. Once dispensed by a pharmacy, always observe any expiry or “use by” date applied to the dispensing label, which may in some cases be earlier than the manufacturer’s stated shelf life.
Store Xepa Aslene 120mg Capsule below 25°C in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep the capsules in their original blister packaging until you are ready to take each dose — the sealed foil-blister packing protects the capsule shells and their contents from humidity and light exposure, both of which can compromise the stability of hard gelatin capsules.
In Malaysia’s warm, humid tropical climate, take special care not to store this medication in the bathroom, near bathroom sinks, on kitchen surfaces adjacent to stoves or kettles, on bedroom windowsills that receive afternoon sun, or inside vehicles where temperatures can reach dangerous levels during the day. Even brief repeated exposure to heat and humidity can cause gelatin capsule shells to soften, deform, or stick together, potentially affecting dosage accuracy.
Keep all medicines, including Xepa Aslene 120mg, securely out of sight and reach of children and pets at all times. Dispose of any unused, damaged, or expired capsules through a licensed pharmacy medication take-back programme or in accordance with local pharmaceutical waste disposal guidelines — do not discard in household rubbish bins or flush down the drain.
The active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in each Xepa Aslene 120mg Capsule is Orlistat (also known by its chemical name tetrahydrolipstatin), present at a dose of 120mg per capsule. Orlistat is a synthetic, saturated derivative of lipstatin — a naturally occurring compound originally isolated from Streptomyces toxytricini — and is classified as a peripherally acting anti-obesity agent under the ATC code A08AB01. It is one of the most extensively studied weight management agents in pharmaceutical medicine.
Pharmacodynamically, orlistat works by reversibly inhibiting gastric and pancreatic lipases — the digestive enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat (triglycerides) into smaller, absorbable components (free fatty acids and monoglycerides) within the lumen of the stomach and small intestine. Orlistat achieves this by forming a stable covalent bond with the serine residue at the active site of these lipase enzymes, thereby rendering them temporarily inactive. When the enzymes cannot function, the triglycerides in your food remain in their intact, undigested form and pass through the gastrointestinal tract without being absorbed, exiting the body in the stool. At the recommended therapeutic dose of 120mg three times daily, orlistat inhibits approximately 30% of dietary fat absorption. Crucially, because orlistat acts locally within the gut and is not significantly absorbed into the systemic circulation, it does not exert CNS effects or interact with systemic metabolic pathways in the way that centrally acting anti-obesity medicines do.
Pharmacokinetically, systemic absorption of orlistat is minimal — plasma concentrations following oral administration are extremely low (nanomolar range) and essentially negligible. The majority of the drug acts entirely locally within the gastrointestinal lumen. Any absorbed fraction undergoes rapid metabolism within the gut wall and liver. Faecal excretion of unabsorbed orlistat is the primary elimination pathway, with approximately 97% of the dose recovered in the stool (as drug and metabolites), and less than 2% excreted in urine. Due to its minimal systemic absorption, orlistat has a very limited systemic pharmacokinetic profile compared to most other prescription medicines, which is one of the reasons its drug interaction profile is primarily centred on gastrointestinal absorption interference rather than systemic metabolic pathways.
In addition to orlistat 120mg, each capsule of Xepa Aslene contains the following inactive excipients: microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycolate, povidone, sodium lauryl sulphate, and talc within the capsule fill; the hard gelatin capsule shell contains gelatine, titanium dioxide (E171), FD&C Blue No. 1 (Brilliant Blue FCF, E133), FD&C Blue No. 2 (Indigo Carmine, E132), and other colourants that give the capsule its distinctive blue colour. Patients with known allergies to gelatine or any of the excipients listed should consult their doctor or pharmacist before use.
As with all medicines, Xepa Aslene 120mg Capsule may cause side effects in some patients. The majority of side effects associated with orlistat are gastrointestinal in nature and are a direct pharmacological consequence of unabsorbed fat passing through the digestive tract. These gastrointestinal effects are generally more frequent and pronounced when dietary fat intake is higher than recommended — keeping fat intake below 30% of total caloric intake per meal significantly reduces their occurrence. The following side effects have been reported with orlistat:
Xepa Aslene 120mg Capsule must NOT be used in the following patients and circumstances:
Because orlistat acts primarily within the gastrointestinal lumen rather than the systemic circulation, its drug interactions are largely mediated through impaired gastrointestinal absorption of co-administered medications — rather than through the hepatic CYP450 enzyme interactions more commonly seen with systemically absorbed drugs. This makes separating dose timings a key management strategy for several important interactions.
