A new post at Drug Injury Watch reports that the weight loss drug Orlistat (in Alli and Xenical), the one that makes you get the orange, foul-smelling liquishits if you eat more than a tiny amount of fat, is being investigated by the FDA for reports that it causes liver damage: Agency Has Received Case Reports Of Hepatotoxicity For Orlistat
Roche is of course claiming that it’s not their product, it’s that just that being fat causes liver failure.

ROFL. I just snorted coffee through my nose.
I think the fact that these products make you shit your pants if you have more than 15 grams of fat is reason enough not to take them. Not to mention that if you toot it leaves an oil stain on your jeans. and then your sister calls and asks you to toot again cause she wants to make some fries…..
I have been taking Alli since it came out..on and off…I am on them now…till I saw the warning…I have been having pain in my right side for months on and off…and now it is a constant pain..and because of no insurance and the fact I am afraid to find out as it get progressively worse…Today I am seeking help…I cannot believe what I am seeing…I am sure this is my Liver that is causing the pain…I will keep you updated…I am a scared puppy…!!!
