Zyprexa Lawsuits

Zyprexa is a drug used to treat bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and symptoms of dementia. Manufactured by Eli Lilly, Zyprexa has become a popular anti-psychotic drug because it does not produce the “Parksion’s-like” side effects associated with other medicines used to treat mental illness. Since its approval, Zyprexa has become Eli Lilly’s best selling drug. Unfortunately, Zyprexa’s success in the drug market has been overshadowed by reports of dangerous side effects.

Since 2000, reports have surfaced that patients were developing diabetes as a side effect of Zyprexa use. In addition, one hundred users also developed ketosis, a serious diabetes complication. Other reported side effects of Zyprexa include:

  • Pancreatitis
  • Stroke
  • Worsening Alzheimer symptoms
  • Seizures
  • Diabetic coma
  • Hyperglycemia
  • Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome
