Would you still take a weight loss drug if it were "possibly" linked to liver damage?

If I was morbidly obese and had tried everything else and still could not lose weight. Then yes the potential benefit to my general health of losing weight far outweighs the possible risk of liver damage with the drug.
But if I had less risky options to explore like dieting and more exercise, then no Iwould go for the less risky option

Although there is no warning there, people should be aware of such post effects of taking such a drug. Its like smoking, the warning is there but then people choose to heed such a warning or not.
I always tend to research drugs before I take any form of medication and I think for those who have access to the internet they should be encourage to read up more on what they are taking..

M$If you don't have other choice, take the drug. All drugs will have possible liver damage because liver is the organ to metabolize drugs. If it is approved by FDA already, and no serious liver side effect report in recently 10 to 20 years, it should be considered safe.
Just remember, when you are taking medicine, make sure you don't have any liver disease now. If yes, be sure to consult the digestive doctor. Also it is better to quit alcohol and other liver damaging stuff, so that liver can obtain its capability to fight against the damage that diet drug caused. And don't take it too often or for too long a time. Liver has its ability to regenerate and repair itself. If damage is too often or consistant, it will cause chronic disease.

There is no chance, for a start, that I would take or trust any weight loss drug anyone could throw at me.
However, for the sake of argument let's say I had been taking this drug and it had been very successful in my experience.
If I then saw this news that it was POSSIBLY linked to liver damage, I would stop taking it IMMEDIATELY!
Sorry for all the capitals, I know it looks angry but it's just that I'm used to being able to put things in bold ;)

I am personally trying to loose weight but thankfully it is more for cosmetic rather then immediate health reasons

In my opinion (a non-medical one, at that), these drugs should be last resorts (to diet and exercise), but for many (as represented by $600 Million in sales for Alli & Xenical in 2008 referenced in the AP article) this is now a serious question. I think I would certainly do everything in my power to avoid this if I could.

I know the weight loss would only be temporary since a pill does not take care of the underlying issues.
