Alli=Rectal Bleeding

I was at a friends house tonight, and her girlfriend came over. I asked about her day, a question which lead to where she works. She works for GlaxoSmithKline, the pharmy farm. She handles the complaints of side affects for a certain drug. I asked her if there was a consistent complaint for the drug that she was collecting the complaints on.
"Rectal bleeding is the big one."
"What the fuck drug is this?"
"Alli."
It's an over the counter weight loss drug that has the side affect of rectal bleeding. Ouch.
Don't take this drug.
