BMI: Your Primary Diagnostic Tool

Body mass index, or BMI, is a measure of weight taking height into account.

XENICAL may be right for your patients if they are considerably overweight (at least 30 lbs, depending on height, or have a BMI of 30 or greater). XENICAL may also be right for them if they are overweight (at least 20 lbs, depending on height, or have a BMI of 27 or greater) and also have other risk factors, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, or diabetes.

To calculate a BMI, enter height in feet and inches and weight in pounds (lbs) in the boxes below and then click on the button marked "Calculate."
