The US Food and Drug Association (FDA) has issued a warning for individuals, which may include those who wear medical bracelets, to people currently using a dietary supplement called Alli.
This followed a review of cases into severe liver injuries involving people taking orlistat, which is an active ingredient in the drug.
Dr Stephen Ryder of Core, the only charity in the UK to conduct research into gut, liver, intestine and bowel illnesses, suggested that many over the counter medications have the ability to cause side effects.
However, he also noted that being overweight can be a key factor in the development of liver disease.
Therefore people are being advised to stick to a healthy diet and limit the amount of alcohol they drink in order to avoid complications.
