According to preliminary laboratory tests conducted by GlaxoSmithKline, the manufacturer of
Alli, the counterfeit version does not contain
orlistat, the active ingredient of
Alli. Rather, the counterfeit product contains sibutramine, a controlled substance that can interact with other medications and should not be used in certain patients or without the advice of a health care professional.
Consumers first began reporting suspected counterfeit
Alli products in early December 2009. GlaxoSmithKline has determined that the counterfeit product has been sold over the internet. At the present time, there is no evidence that any counterfeit
Alli product has been sold through retail stores or other channels.
