The Food and Drug Administration has warned consumers about the dangers of counterfeit copies of the popular weight loss medication; Alli. The health body claims that large shipments of imitation drugs are being distributed and passed off as the 60-milligram capsules that are commonly found in the 120-count refill kit.

The counterfeit pills are said to contain sibutramine as opposed to Alli’s active ingredient; Orlistat. Sibutramine is said to cause severe reactions if used in combination with other medications.
