Zyprexa

Zyprexa is an atypical anti-psychotic manufactured by Eli Lilly. The FDA approved Zyprexa in 1996 to treat schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder.

Zyprexa side effects include weight gain, failure to regulate body temperature, uncontrollable movements in the face and extremities, and gastrointestinal problems. The most serious side effects of Zyprexa include Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome, tardive dyskinesia, and diabetes.

In 2002, a Duke University study revealed an incredible risk of adult onset diabetes presented to patients who were prescribed Zyprexa. 23 patients in this study died. In response to this, the FDA ordered Eli Lilly to include a stronger diabetes risk warning on Zyprexa product information.

Zyprexa is a dangerous drug but remains on the market. Zyprexa presents very real and possibly fatal side effects, yet continues to be prescribed in America.
