“We don’t want people to try alli. We want people to commit to a low-fat, reduced-calorie lifestyle,” said Brian Jones, vice-president of communications for GlaxoSmithKline.
The drug maker emphasises that people can only take alli when eating 15 grams of fat at each meal. A higher fat consumption could lead to unsavoury side effects including gastrointestinal issues such as urgently needing to go to the bathroom. The pharmaceutical company has been up-front about this, even recommending that people wear dark pants or bring a change of clothes to work until they adjust to the drug.
