Diet Drug Alli Linked to Severe Liver Damage

Orlistat has been a big hit for both Glaxo and Roche, which reported $123 million and $472 million in sales of the drug last year, respectively. A Glaxo representative denied that the drug was responsible for the cases of liver damage, noting that the overweight are already at risk for liver disorders.

But the FDA has cautioned that all people taking Alli or Xenical contact their doctors immediately if they suffer any symptoms of liver damage, including fatigue, fever, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, brown urine or stomach pain. Loss of appetite, itchiness and light-colored stools may be signs of more advanced liver damage.

  I think there are some things worse than being fat. Walking around with a pantload would certainly be one of them.  "I know she smells bad, but she is soooo slim!" I think I'd take the full figured gal who didn't smell like an open sewer!

Hiya!
I just knew that anything that included a warning label that said "...advisory for users to wear dark colored pants and carry an extra pair as seepage or explosive greasy diarrhea may occur" couldn't be good for you...LOL ~MM
