Concerns that OTC anti-obesity drug, orlistat, brand name Alli, may cause liver damage.

Reported here: BBC News item.

Extracts from the report:

"The FDA said the most commonly reported adverse reactions included the yellowing of skin or whites of the eyes, weakness and stomach pain.

Between 1999 and 2008, the agency received 32 reports of liver damage, 30 of which occurred outside the US. Of these 27 resulted in hospitalisation.

The agency said it was now conducting a review of the safety of the drug, but stressed no definite association with liver damage had been established at this stage."

"In the UK, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said it had received a total of 1,295 suspected adverse drug reaction reports associated with orlistat, including 137 involving suspected liver damage, since it was licensed in 1998."

There is no need to take drugs, risking adverse side-effects, to lose weight. You can lose weight fast, easily and safely by cutting down on salt and salty food.
