Recall (Warning) : Alli purchased over the internet

First off, if you’re buying drugs off the internet, quit that foolishness right now. You’re poking a big hungry dragon with a very short stick.

Instead, the counterfeit product contained the controlled substance sibutramine. Sibutramine is a drug that should not be used in certain patient populations or without physician oversight.  Sibutramine can also interact in a harmful way with other medications the consumer may be taking.”

Aside from looking completely different from the real thing…
