Alabama Zyprexa Attorney
Diabetic? Have you used Zyprexa?
You need to talk to us today!
Zyprexa (Olanzapine), which is prescribed for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar mania, has been linked to diabetes mellitus, hyperglycemia, pancreatitis and blood sugar disorders. There have been 288 reported diabetes cases in Zyprexa patients, with 23 of them being fatal.
The FDA has asked Eli Lilly to add a new warning to the popular schizophrenia drug Zyprexa, warning patients that Zyprexa has been linked to diabetes and other blood sugar disorders. In a recent study, Zyprexa and two other atypical antipsychotics that are used to treat schizophrenia were found to cause diabetes 50 percent more often than older drugs. Eli Lilly & Co. is accused of heavily promoting Zyprexa as a safe and effective drug for psychotic disorders, while virtually concealing the risks of side effects from doctors and from the patients themselves.
In addition to diabetes, Zypexia has been linked to the following side effects:
- Ketoacidosis
- Diabetic Coma
- Hyperglycemia
- Pancreatitis
- Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome
If you or a loved one has been prescribed Zyprexia and now suffers from diabetes, contact us today to see if you have a case.
