Alli weight-loss pill: Does it work?

What are the concerns with Alli?

In 2010, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published a safety review of orlistat because of rare reports of serious liver injury in people using it. The FDA found no evidence to confirm that orlistat was the cause of the reported liver injuries.

However, Alli and Xenical labels were revised because of the reports. Talk to your doctor immediately if you have signs or symptoms that may indicate liver injury:

  • Itching
  • Loss of appetite
  • Yellow eyes or skin
  • Light-colored stool
  • Brown urine
