The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning against two weight loss drugs for their damage on the liver. The drugs, Xenical and Alli, are available to consumers over the counter.
According to the FDA, these drugs can cause severe liver damage, and if you are taking them, you should consult a doctor if you are taking them, and also watch for signs of liver damage, including yellow eyes, dark urine or loss of appetite.
This article, says that Alli also causes loss of bowel control.
I've never taken any weight loss supplement like this before, but I have seen Alli in the grocery store and been curious about it before. If these side effects and the FDA warning are true, I'm thinking it's probably not worth it to take them.
Have any of you take these and had success?
