Fake Alli Diet Pills Putting Slimmers in Danger!

From the newsdesk at www.slimmingsolutions.co.uk (not affiliated with Alli in any way).

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning consumers about an unsafe, counterfit version of the weight loss drug Alli sold online.

An FDA lab test found the counterfeit Alli has a different active ingredient, a stimulant found in prescription weight-loss drugs. People taking fake Alli may be taking three times the usual dose of the stimulant if they are following the dosing directions for Alli.

The key ingredient in Alli, Orlistat, is actually missing from the fake pills. 

This excessive amount of the stimulant may lead to stroke or heart attack in people who have a history of cardiovascular disease. Even healthy people can experience symptoms, including heart palpitations.

The counterfeit Alli product looks similar to the authentic product, with a few notable differences. The counterfeit Alli has:

• Outer cardboard packaging is missing a “Lot” code
• Expiration date that includes month, day, year (e.g. 0616210) authentic Alli expiration date includes only the month and year (e.g. 05/12)
• Packaging in a plastic bottle that has a slightly taller and wider cap with coarser  ribbing then the genuine product
• Plain foil safety inner seal under the plastic cap without any printed words; the authentic product seal is printed with “SEALED for YOUR PROTECTION”
• Contains larger capsules with a white powder, instead of small white pellets

Don’t risk your health! Try the Alli alternatives from a company you CAN trust.
