*(Zyprexa is also commonly misspelled as "Zyprixa, Zyprexia, Zyphrexa, Zypexa, and Ziprexa.")

At least 8000 people have developed serious conditions after using the popular antipsychotic medication, Zyprexa (olanzapine). Eli Lilly has agreed to pay nearly 700 million dollars to settle existing suits from people who have been harmed after using Zyprexa.

This settlement is based on allegations that the Zyprexa label in use before March 2004 did not contain adequate warnings regarding serious potential side effects. In addition, published reports indicate that as far back to the 1950's, studies tied the use of Zyprexa and similar drugs to increased risk of diabetes, pancreatitis, hyperglycemia and other serious conditions. However, it is alleged that Eli Lilly continued to market Zyprexa without adequate warnings, even in light of this information.

If you or someone close to you used Zyprexa on or before March 2004 , and then suffered from diabetes, pancreatitis (inflammation of pancreas), ketoacidosis, hyperglycemia, seizures, diabetic coma, stroke, heart attack, amputation of a limb (due to diabetes), severe weight gain, or other medical conditions, you are urged to contact the law offices of Alexander Hawes, LLP at 800.921.1776 to speak to an attorney.

On the other hand, if you fail to protect your legal rights now, you may lose the right to be compensated for your harm. (Persons seeking to preserve any potential legal claims should contact an attorney promptly, since all states have mandatory time periods in which lawsuits must be filed with the courts; otherwise, they may be forever barred).

In addition, we have the resources to handle our own cases. This means that when you call our firm, you talk to your own lawyer who has been assigned to your own case.
