Counterfeit Alli Updated 3
Do you remember hearing about the FDA granting approval to
Alli, the weight loss drug? I remember seeing tons and tons of commercials and so many people were excited because there was finally a weight loss drug that had federal approval.
But earlier this week the FDA warned people that a counterfeit version of
Alli was out there and that it could be really dangerous.
There are a couple key differences that you can look for in the products to spot if you may have a fake:
If your expiration date has a month, day and year, it's fake. Real
Alli only uses month and year.
If your bottle has a plain foil safety seal it's a fake. Real
Alli has the words "SEALED for YOUR PROTECTION" printed on it.
The fake bottle is also taller and wider than the authentic one.
So far it looks like the fake
Alli has only been sold online, not in retail stores, but if you use
Alli, you want to make sure to check your bottle closely.
