California Zyprexa attorneys firm, http://lopez.i-dep.com/wstv/zyprexa-consumer.php,
states the following about Zyprexa:
“Zyprexa
(olanzapine) is an anti-psychotic drug manufactured by Eli Lilly
and Company. Zyprexa has been prescribed to more than 12 million
people worldwide for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar
disorder, depression and a number of other mental illnesses and
conditions. Zyprexa has been linked to an increased risk of
diabetes and related complications."
"Due
to hundreds of complaints, in September 2003 the FDA ordered Eli
Lilly to change the Zyprexa label to warn of complications such
as:
•
diabetes,
• hyperglycemia (an abnormal increase of blood sugar levels),
• ketoacidosis (an abnormal increase of acidity in the blood),
• pancreatitis
• and other related conditions, including death."
"In
February 2004, the American Diabetes Association stated that
medical data consistently shows an increased risk for diabetes
in patients treated with Zyprexa.”
