In 2007, Alli was approved for OTC use for weight loss in overweight adults. Between 1999 and October 2008, 32 reports of serious liver injury, including 6 cases of liver failure, in patients using orlistat were submitted to the FDA. In August 2009, the FDA initiated a safety review of Alli side effects to determine if there is a direct relationship between reports of liver injury and diet drugs containing orlistat. The FDA issued an early communication on August 24, 2009, indicating that they were reviewing this new safety information, but no definite association between liver injury and Alli has been established. The FDA currently recommends that consumers continue using Alli as directed.
