WEIGHT LOSS DRUG, ALLI

The FDA is looking into reports of liver damage in people who took the weight loss drug, Alli. As of yet, there is no direct connection, but people who have used this drug may want to contact their doctor.

Signs of liver damage are nausea, vomiting, fatigue and fever.

The spokesperson for GlaxoSmithKline said "there is no evidence the company's drug causes liver injury, noting that it primarily acts on the intestinal tract..."

I would encourage people to not try to take the "easy" route to weight loss and aim for a generally healthier lifestyle.
