Boston (DbTechNo) - The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) are warning people to avoid a counterfit weight loss pill that is being sold.
The fake Alli pill is a counterfit of the actual Alli weight loss pill which is one of the most popular weight loss products on the US market.
The real version of Alli is made by GlaxoSmithKline, and contains orlistat as its active ingredient.
The fake pills are being sold over the internet, as bottles containing 60-mg capsules.
The fake pills contain sibutramine which is very dangerous if ingested by certain patients who are already taking other medications.
There are a few ways of determining a fake version of Alli from the real thing.
First of all, there is no lot number on the fake package.
Also, the real Alli comes in small white pellets and the fake version comes in larger pills with a white powder.
I've just been in contact with Glaxo w/ re: Fake alli I purchased on-line via Amazon. The Fakes came from Mike at Storeshark and Toby at Byrdlabs. Storeshark is an on-line toy store (!!), and Byrdlabs has no street address or phone number. Both contend that neither knew you were selling fake drugs. However, they did not purchase this product from Glaxo Smith Klein; therefore, they knew this product was not from the legitimate manufacturer. They also used the legitimacy of Amazon to perpetrate this fraud. When I contacted them, both said they were "pulling" their offerings. Neither offered to do anything else (like report who "sold" it to them or notify their customers)
I've spoken w/ Glaxo this AM, and will be providing them my Alli for analysis. The lot/expiration on my bottle(s) is
11648 10/11
The rep indicated they have received other fakes with this lot/expiration. The powder contents were determined to be Meridia.
Unfortunately, I've experiened some serious side effects, including a bad rash. My dermo thought I might have some type of liver disease!
