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.

Hi I just bought a generic orlistat called Orlislim through a canadian pharmacy called Healthcare tablets. the product is from Asia. I just started taking it a day ago - so may not see results right away. I actually broke one of the capsules and found it had a powdery substance - so not sure if I have been ripped off yet. Was wondering if anyone in this forum has had experience or has heard of Orlislim - i believe they are made by Zenlabs. Any insight would be appreciated.

The same thing happened to me!!!! The pills were fake. I had been taking Alli for years until it went off the market. I ordered from Asia Botanics?? ( cant remember the exact name). The pills and packaging looked professional, but they have to be nothing but sugar or something similar. I kept taking it and nothing would happen. So to be sure, I ate the greasiest pizza and dessert I could find which should have sent me running to the toilet. Nothing happened. Instead, I am more constipated when I take them. My wild animals got into a pack. They instinctively stay away from meds. They love sugar. They ate the package and nothing happened. Thank God for that anyway. I tried to write a review and there is no place to write one. I searched and finally found a place with all glowing reviews. When I wrote my review, it never showed up on the page. The reviews must be written by their own people, because they emphasized that the pills were exactly the same orlistat and not fake. Why would anyone write that over and over to convince people that these pills are the real deal of there haven't been problems and complaints. I'm angry and disgusted they are getting away with this.

Cackling hens, Bill? Really? What a disrespectful jerk you are. The majority feel it is a scam. So happy you have a huge oil slick. Save it and use it in your cooking- maybe that will save you more fat absorption.

I also ordered Orlistat 120 mg from this place. No oily side effects and no results. They are fake. I only purchased the small packet for 29.95. Used paypal told I had to return for money back. Forget it not worth the hassle. Lesson learned!

I tried to get my refund by Paypal and the shipping back to Indonesia is between 60-80$ ....So it does not make sense. I lost the money on Fake pills.

I am with the majority - I think its a fake - the only thing it does is clean you out real good - no oily stools - this does not work - and needs to come off the market - Has anyone seen amazon advertisment for Alli - almost 900 dollars are they for real!!!!!

I did receive a refund a full refund and if this worked for you, then more power to you hope it is all of what you desire. But no need in insulting frustrated people who didnt have the same luck and truely believe that the product is garbage and I truely mean that.

I fell for this as well. No oil or loose stool. In fact became constipated. That's when I knew they were fake. The ad makes you think they are a Denver company but product shipped from Taiwan. Out $80 as well.

Yes I had the same thing happen to me. Scary that we do not know what was in the pills. I know what the side effects are from Alli, wish they would get it back on the shelf so we all can stop going through this!

Considering you took 240mg compared to 60mg at one time. Good for you that you had the side effects. Some of us did not. When you have to take more than your recommended dose to get results that is not working and possibly dangerous. This is a drug that can cause liver damage so take care increasing your dose just to prove some "cackling hens" wrong.

I purchased viocore Orlistat, actually 2 orders of 120mg capsules, I am used to taking Alli before it was taken out of the shelf, but i am not seeing any results, like the one i used to with Alli that really contains Orlistat, I have to agree this product I think is a fake, i feel so bad, so cheated that I had to pay 79 dollars twice for this product. I'll try to get my money back. Anyone tried to get a refund thru PayPal?

I purchased Orlistat 120 mg. Manufactured by VIOCORE through the internet. Unfortunately I used my debit card and the company refuses to give me a refund.

Not sure what these cackling hens are crying about. I ordered the VioCore 120mg from Botanics Asia before reading this article. I almost sent this stuff back after reading all the posts.
However, since most of the hens said they could not get their money back, I decided to give it a try. I took two last night for the first time about 10 minutes AFTER a big meal (not even the way it is prescribed).
I have taken real Alli before so I knew what to look for. Well I can tell you it worked great, the usual oil slick was in the stool, actually a huge oil slick (because I took two instead of one).
So STFU all you naysayers you have no idea what you're talking about. The VioCore I got from Botanics Asia works great.
