Food and Drug Administration officials on Saturday warned that GlaxoSmithKline's fake versions of over-the-counter diet pill called Alli contained high levels of a prescription weight loss ingredient called sibutramine that was dangerous.

Dr Janet Woodcock, head of the FDA's drug unit, told reporters that "The amount of sibutramine in the counterfeit Alli poses a serious health risk to some individuals. A person taking the counterfeit Alli as directed would be exposed to twice the maximum prescription dose of sibutramine every day."
