Zyprexa Related Injuries Lead To Lawsuits

Have you unnecessarily suffered as a result of your usage of Zyprexa? If so, you may be entitled to money compensation for medical expenses, lost earnings, pain and suffering. Zyprexa®, also know as Olanzapine has been used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar mania disorders. However, recent finding has shown that Zyprexa has caused these dangerous, and potentially life threatening, side effects:

• Diabetes
• Ketoacidosis
• Diabetic Coma
• Pancreatitis
• Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome

As a result of the injuries that many users have suffered a class action lawsuit was filed. Eli Lilly, the manufacturer of Zyprexa, has agreed to settle most of those liability clams. The company will establish a fund of up to $690 million for plaintiffs who agree to settle their claims. Around 8,000 are covered by the settlement. Most of the lawsuits are from before September 2003 when information about the risk of hyperglycemia and diabetes was not adequately displayed.

However, there are still many people who were injured by use of Zyprexa that have not pursued their rights to be compensated.
