Eli Lilly & Co.’s 3rd best selling pharmaceutical on the market is supposed to be for the treatment of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, but has resulted in diabetes, or pancreatitis. On December 30th, seven people filed suit (Carl Bavone, Constance Morrow, Jessica Perry and Roger Yon, of Illinois, Debbie Bernsley of Indiana, Robert Goatee of Kentucky and Terrance Hause of Minnesota) in St. Clair County alleging that Zyprexa caused the onset of diabetes or pancreatitis. The victims claim that Lilly knew about Zyprexa‘s possibility of diabetes, but failed regardless of its obligation to adequately warn doctors and patients.
For a good Zyprexa or defective product lawyer, try Jacoby & Meyers of Los Angeles, California.
