A MAJOR health alert has been issued over an anti-obesity pill that hundreds of thousands of us are buying over the counter with no prescription.
Drug safety watchdogs fear the slimming tablet Alli could trigger a raft of issues, including pancreatitis, kidney stones, liver problems or severe fits in people with epilepsy.
New figures show there have been 31 reported cases of adverse reactions since it went on sale at high street pharmacies in January 2009.

Ah, but Alli is a dietary supplement and only Big Pharma can produce things that can harm us! Any effort to make the supplement industry comply with the legal or ethical restrictions of the drug industry is just The Man trying to sit on the power of scientifically unproven homeopathic holistic healing!
Just trying to preempt the dietary supplement apologists, although I have a feeling they will just ignore this news anyway. It's not like they require facts for their beliefs anyway.
