Utah Latest state to sue Eli Lilly in developing " Viva Zyprexa " Scandal.

 

Side effects to Zyprexa can include high blood sugar levels, acute weight

gain and pancreatitis, according to the lawsuit.

 

" Utah has paid millions of dollars for inappropriate and medically

unnecessary doses of Zyprexa. As a result, Lilly has been illegally enriched at

the

expense of the State, " the lawsuit said.

 

The state is seeking civil damages and penalties, including $5,000-$10,000

for each prescription that was " not medically necessary. "

 

Lilly also faces lawsuits filed by attorneys general of Alaska, Louisiana,

Mississippi, New Mexico and West Virginia alleging that it marketed Zyprexa for

unapproved uses or hid the risks of weight gain and diabetes.

 

Eli Lilly makes billions on diabetes treatment and also gets $4.2 billion a

year in sales of their biggest cash cow Zyprexa which has been scandalized as

*causing* diabetes as a major side effect.
