August 24, 2009, the U.S. Food Drug Administration (FDA) announced to do a investigate for the popular weight loss drug Alai and Xenical.
In the past few years, FDA has received 32 reports about the liver hurt from the users who had taken Allais or Xenical.

Alli is only one non-prescription weight loss pills which have been approved by FDA, people can buy them freely. But the Xenical is the prescription edition of Alli，the effective ingredient is twice the Alli, if you want to buy it, you must have the doctor’s prescription.

The factories of Alli and Xenical refuse to recognize that the Alli will make the liver hurt. They announce that the safety of the Alli have got the support of more than one hundred clinical trials.
And the FDA does not confirm that lose weight has the direct relationship with liver hurt, and they said you can take them with the doctor’s direction. But it doesn’t stop doubt about the safety of Alai and Xenical. In the beginning of this year, UK makes a survey about the side effect.

FDA has approved the fenfluramine, Pondimin and dexfenfluramine，Redux can be used, but it has the risk to cause the Heart valve disease and pulmonary hypertension, so the factory cancelled the two goods voluntarily in 1997.

The FDA also approved one goods called Sibutramine to lose weight. It has the dual role to change the adrenaline and serotonin, the effective of weight loss is more substantial.
