Consumers taking a counterfeit version of GlaxoSmithKline PLC's over-the-counter weight-loss drug
Alli may be exposed to three-times the daily dose of the prescription weight loss drug, putting some people at risk for heart attacks and strokes.
Earlier this week the Food and Drug Administration warned consumers about the fake
Alli, purchased over the Internet, and said it didn't contain the active ingredient in
Alli and instead contained sibutramine. Sibrutramine is the active ingredient in the prescription weight-loss drug Meridia, sold by Abbott Laboratories.
There's no evidence that counterfeit
Alli was purchased in retail stores.
