Zyprexa

Around the world, over 15 million people have taken Zyprexa®, a second generation antipsychotic drug that has been approved by the FDA to treat schizophrenia and the manic stage of bipolar disorder. Although there is no definitive report to detail the benefits of Zyprexa®, a shocking number of health risks have recently been associated with the drug. There is evidence to suggest that Eli Lilly & Company knew of these risks long before they were forced by the FDA to include them in their labeling of Zyprexa®.

To this day, Eli Lilly has taken no measures to prohibit "off-label" (non-FDA-approved) prescriptions of Zyprexa®, including many issued to children. Side effects include diabetes, pancreatitis, substantial weight gain, tardive dyskinesia, and neuroleptic malignant syndrome. Children are as susceptible as adults to these adverse side effects which is made all the more tragic by the fact that Zyprexa® has never been approved by the FDA specifically for use in children.
