Diet Drug Not A Liver Alli
By Marcella Glenn
The Food and Drug Administration issued warnings based on 13 cases of severe liver damage in patients- from Alli, an over the counter diet drug. They are described as rare. It's made by GlaxoSmithKline.
Xenical is the prescription form.
Dieters should look-out for itching, yellow skin/eyes or appetite loss.
The Food and Drug Administration asked GlaxoSmithKline to label the drug with the risks.
In the Food and Drug Administration's opinion, 40 million across the world have used the drug.
"GSK is committed to ensuring that consumers and physicians understand the safety profile of Alli," Howard Marsh, chief medical officer for GlaxoSmithKline.
The Food and Drug Administration hasn't made a cause-and- effect relationship as of this date.
