News: New weight-loss drug advertises honestly?
GlaxoSmithKline is preparing to launch the first over-the-counter diet pill to be approved by the FDA. The drug is scheduled to hit the market next month and will be called alli.
The marketing for this drug will include the message that you must diet and exercise to get the affect of this pill. We all are looking for the magic pill, this isn’t it, but they aren’t marketing it as a magic pill either. What the pill does is block the fat from entering your system, with some rather unfortunate side effects if you take in conjunction with a high-fat diet. Apparently the studies show that you could lose a few extra pounds for every five pounds you would normally lose through diet and exercise.
If this is the way alli works, sign me up for a trial pack! It’s a bit costly, but anything within the business of weight loss is. This might be something really worth watching.
Check out the following CNN article for more info including those side effects:
