Common
Side Effects of Zyprexa that have caused the Food and Drug
Administration to require drug maker, Eli Lilly, to put a black
box warning on this drug’s label, include the following:
- Hyperglycemia
(elevated blood sugar).
Sometimes seen as the preliminary stages of diabetes
when a patient experiences increased urine, thirst, hunger,
dry-scratchy skin and extreme tiredness.
- Diabetes
Melltitus (exacerbation of diabetes).
Body cannot regulate sugar “normally” and thus
may result in harmful effects to nerves and blood vessels.
- Diabetic
Ketoacidosis (DKA). Lack
of necessary insulin to regulate sugar in the blood, which
can progress into a coma.
Symptoms of this condition include high blood
glucose, need to eat excessively, extreme thirst, and
repeated urination.
Zyprexa
is also called Olanzapine.
It has been prescribed to supposedly stop brain receptors
that induce psychotic disorders such as during the
manic-depression stage of bipolar disorder, when a patient is
experiencing dementia, anxiety and increased irritation.
