Fake Orlistat Capsules (Page 3)

Hello Everyone Just wanted to let you all know that you need to be aware of fake Orlistat pills being offered for sale as generics to Alli. I bought what I thought were generic Alli 120mg but was sent blue capsules filled with a white powder instead. I know for a fact that the active ingrediant in Alli (Orlistat), is actually small white bead-type drug. So, what is this powder? Only God knows! I've written my letter of complaint to the on-line pharmacy concerned, but no reply. I will see about getting my money back.

I got the same thing and they're definitely fake. I returned them but havn't been reimbursed yet. It 's a scam! I have taken Alli for years and they definitely don't work. I'm not sure what to do.

I received viocore Orlistat in the mail 4 days ago. I purposely ate something high in fat and took the capsule. And continued to take it with each meal afterwards. First two days: nothing. I did however noticed that I was having more bowel movements than usual. I have been without any authentic Orlistat for about a month. Then on the third day, I finally had a bm that had oily discharge in it.

I have used alli until it went off market. Then I got a prescription version of it called xenical, and had been using that until my insurance no longer covered it. I've been getting xenical from canadadrugs (still needed a prescription) but my MD says I no longer qualify the requirements that meets a prescription...meaning after my script expires or runs out of refills, I no longer can get anymore xenical from the u.s. Or Canada. I saw that these viocore Orlistat was my next best bet at getting Orlistat without a script, and a very nice price at that.

My review: the capsules work, but definitely not the same as alli or xenical. I don't think it is as "strong" and may not give everyone the same results as they got from alli. My husband has used alli as well in the past, but these pills has not been giving him the same results. He has been getting diarrhea, along with small about of oily bowels. When taking alli, he always had oily farts, but with these, no "accidents" at all yet. We've only been taking these capsules for 5 days. We saw no instant results, like we usually do with alli or xenical.

But overall, they do work......and is probably your best replacement for alli until it's back on the shelf. You can get "xenical" or Orlistat capsules from canadadrugs and I can vouche that those are authentic and works wonders, but you'll need a doctor prescription, they are also more expensive than these viocore Orlistat.

I don't think Alli is coming back. I bought VioCore 'orlistat' from Botanics.asia. It is not Orlistat at all. All I got from it was nausea and insomnia.

I bought the Orlistat and after two days I am having the same oily substance in my stool as I did with the Alli and prescribed XANICAL from my doctor. I am not having any stomach cramps at all. You have to remember that this medication will only produce a 7 pound weight loss in a year so don't expect miracles. You also need to diet and excercise in order to lose weight. Once again, I'm having the fat come up in my stool so I'm prone to believe that this is the real thing.

Wow, you are the ONLY person in this entire thread that says he got the real thing. Are we supposed to have some level of comfort in that? I took Viocore 90 count 3 times a day and never experienced any oily stool. The dosage was twice that of Alli, and I did get results from Alli. The fake substance I recieved was not Orlistat. I was told by Simon I would get a free trial of Xenical. So far....nothing. I don't think Botanics Asia realizes the level of problems that can occur when you market deceptively in the U.S.
I will never buy anything else from this rip-off company. I am not making anything up. Just stating what I experienced. I will be available for any legal action that may arise.

Hi Justamomy,
You always reply to me so well. No one seems to understand the PAIN unless they are going thru it! I had 2 hip replacements, back issues & on disability for severe occ. neuralgia headaches, panic attacks, & anxiety! God, I am a mess! I have been on Watsons 10/325 for years with NO side affects & took most sometimes ALL of the pain. Since ended up in er with the activas (PLEASE~NO ONE TAKE ACTIVAS ANYTHING!!!) I have called them numerous times, made reports~they JUST DON'T CARE! Now the crappy vicodin puts me asleep 7& I can hardly do my small phone job. Do you think if I try that endocet by I think Qualitest next month that will be the best thing to do??? It is that small yellow pill. I so far have not had problems with pill color dyes. Again, I'm so sorry about your SON, & I really believe we will be with our loved ones again, & that he IS always with you. Pain in Chicago. Where are you from (unless you don't care to say...it's OK!)

Hi Kay,
sorry to hear so much is going on with you. I honestly don't know about any pain pills except for Percocet and minor pain pills like that. I have my share of severe broken ribs with rheumatoid arthritis and I have so many bowel issues that days go when I can't bend at waist, I literally put on 3-5 lbs water and poop in one day, severe bloat bleeding gastritis and ulcers so can't take pain for my arthritis and broken ribs. Live on arthritis Tylenol so much so it could kill a horse and recently am taking so much colon cleanse ( all natural) but nit working well and afraid now my body is addicted to these damn pills go ing up everyday, still. Waiting to find proper doctors with all my thyroid issues. I was once a very active women doing kickboxing, weights, etc... To now going on 2 years of not being able to even drive, I feel like am just existing and not living anymore. I use to take alli to help cholesterol contol vmcus up there but not enough for meds abs to high to go without doing something and diet as well as exercise wasn't an option anymore for me since getting sick. Omg... I have so much going on with me I have SEVERAL DOCS Stumped and going on second opinions now. I live close to Boston, Ma and suppose to be the best NOT.. my son died here in SUPPOSEDLY THE BEST Hospital here. Anyways.. As u can see have trouble trusting and with good reason. My life has changed so much. I am miserable I need answers and my health and life back. Anyway.... Yes I am very sorry and I told you I am here for you. Its always nice to know someone is here and does care (( Hugs)) hope you get relief soon too. It sucks!!! Hate to use the fake alli forum to chat though... Wish I could het your email but honestly hard to do in public.. Don't want ANYBODY EMAILING YOU Take care hun... I know VERY WELL YOUR PAIN. XO

The boxes have the manufacturer's website listed, viocore.com, which has a credible looking front page, but the site Scamadviser indicates that the viocore.com site is only 151 Days old. Everyone affected should file a compliant with Internet Crime Complaint Center at: ic3.gov/default.aspx.

The VioCore capsules contain Microcrystalline Cellulose, which is a refined wood pulp. Although it's considered to be a free-flowing powder, chemically, it is described as being an inert substance that is not metabolized well during digestion and has little to no bioavailability. However, in large enough quantities it is said to provide dietary bulk that may induce a laxative effect.

I am just finishing a course of the Viocore orlistat and they have seemed fine to me. I got the same oily or fatty stools as I used to with Alli. When I went to Google to buy more I found this thread and have broken some of the last capsules open to see and they don't look anything like cornstarch to me. I can't vouch for anyone else's experience but these capsules have been fine so far. Alex

Hi Justamommy,

I hate to see you on all that damn tylenol as that will rip up your sromach in no time! Did you have the upper endoscopy done? I have to watch my coffee & acidity & take Protonix in the morning & Zanac at night & that really helped my stomach, I once lived in Petoskey, Michigan (don't EVER live there if you have cronic pain!!!) All they kept giving me was Motrin, Tramadol $ shots at ER when it got SO bad I had to be wheeled in & was shaking with pain!I moved from there & went to a suburb of Detroit & got 10/325 Percoset by WATSON with no problem, & they couldn't ubderstand WHT I wasn;t still getting that as I was in Minnesota for the last 8 yrs, but Petosket didn't care...they just didn't care. I thought if you could hace that procedure done, the Doc, could maybe give you something to keep the acidity down ect,You have been thru alot too,,,omg. Starting to get tired!!! Good Luck To YOu
