The Food and Drug Administration on Monday warned consumers about a counterfeit version of GlaxoSmithKline‘s weight-loss drug Alli.
Alli is sold over-the-counter in a variety of retail stores. The counterfeit version was purchased by consumers on the Internet, and GlaxoSmithKline started receiving complaints about the product last month. Glaxo said the product was purchased from online auction sites like eBay.
The FDA said there’s no evidence that counterfeit Alli was sold through retail stores. The counterfeit version involved 60- milligram capsules sold in a 120- count refill kit.
