Weight Loss Drugs Can Cause Liver Damage

Weight-loss drugs from GlaxoSmithKline and Roche will carry new warnings about rare reports of liver injury, U.S. health officials said.

The Food and Drug Administration said it had not determined that Roche's prescription drug Xenical or Glaxo's over-the-counter pill Alli caused liver damage, but felt the public should be alerted because the condition is serious.

Patients should stop taking either medicine and consult a doctor if they notice any signs of liver injury, the FDA said.
