On January 18, the Food and Drug Administration issued a warning alerting consumers to a counterfeit version of
Alli 60 mg capsules (120 count refill kit).
Alli is a FDA approved over-the-counter weight loss product
.
Tests by GlaxoSmithKline, the maker of
Alli, found that the counterfeit product does not contain
orlistat, the active ingredient in
Alli. Instead, Glaxo was able to find an ingredient used in a competitor's weight loss product called sibutramine.
