GSK Consumer Healthcare to update Alli label

By Michael Johnsen

PARSIPPANY, N.J. (Jun. 1) GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare last week announced it will update the Alli product label to alert consumers to certain symptoms that have been associated with rare instances of severe liver injury reported in people taking orlistat, the active ingredient in Alli. This update followed FDA’s completion of its safety review of orlistat and is being implemented in conjunction with Roche, the manufacturer of the prescription dose of orlistat (Xenical). The agency stated that a cause-and-effect relationship has not been established.

The updated Alli label will advise consumers to: “Stop use and ask a doctor if you develop itching, yellow eyes or skin, dark urine or loss of appetite. There have been rare reports of liver injury in people taking orlistat.”

“GSK is committed to ensuring that consumers and physicians understand the safety profile of orlistat and alli,” stated Howard March, chief medical officer for GSK Consumer Healthcare. “Although reports of serious liver injury in people taking orlistat are rare, GSK takes all adverse events reports seriously.”
