Alli is made by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and sold over-the-counter (OTC) in retail stores as a weight- loss aid. Monday, the Food and Drug Administration warned consumers that the
Alli they think they are buying may be a fake. The counterfeit version was recent sold over the Internet, primarily on eBay, and GSK started receiving complaints about the bogus
Alli last month.
The counterfeit version is sold in 60-miligram capsules sold in a 120-count refill kit. The counterfeit product does not contain the active ingredient in
Alli,
orlistat, that prevents the absorption of fats from the human diet, therefore reducing caloric intake.
