Zyprexa Lawsuit

There have been 288 reported diabetes cases in Zyprexa patients, with 23 of them being fatal. The side effects associated to Zyprexa are deadly and serious and the concern surrounding the antipsychotic medication may result in lots of Zyprexa lawsuits being filed. Zyprexa lawsuits are most likely on the rise because the FDA and Eli Lilly have not issued a clearer warning for these serious side effects which is a concern for many people.

A Zyprexa lawsuit may be filed by individuals who have suffered from diabetes, ketoacidosis, hyperglycemia, Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome, Pancreatitis, and Diabetic Coma, Tardive Dyskinesia caused by using Zyprexa. Zyprexa, a second round of antipsychotics, was approved in 1996 to treat schizophrenia and bipolar mania. Zyprexa was developed in hopes of reducing adverse side effects associated with the first antipsychotics.

In 2003 the Federal Drug Administration added a warning label to all second generation antipsychotics including Zyprexa. Since then, about 100 Zyprexa lawsuits have been filed against Eli Lilly and Co. Some suits say that Eli Lilly's liability lies in its failure to warn doctors and patients of potential serious effects including diabetes, weight gain and high blood pressure. The most serious charge that threaten Zyprexa liability is that the drug causes the blood sugar disorder of diabetes.
