The introduction of Zyprexa and other atypical antipsychotic drugs were seen as a breakthrough in schizophrenia treatment. Patients used to have to endure many side effects to treat their psychosis, but Zyprexa’s approval in 1996 gave many people new hope. For a while, Zyprexa appeared to be the solution for many schizophrenic patients who were suffering a large amount of side effects from previous medications. Soon Zyprexa’s popularity allowed the drug to become the world’s best selling schizophrenia drug, bringing in 40% of the overall $11.08 billion company sales for maker Eli Lilly. Zyprexa is expected to top at $4 billion in sales for 2003. After all the momentum and growing popularity of Zyprexa, now there are studies indicating Zyprexa may not be the wonder drug everyone thought it was.

ReplyDeleteThis is a powerful drug that can damage a young person physiologically for life. Please take with caution and learn as much as you can about side effects. Eli Lilly's #1 cash cow Zyprexa drug sale $40 billion dollars so far,has a ten times greater risk of causing type 2 diabetes over the non-user of Zyprexa. So,here we have a conflict of interest that this same company also is a big profiteer of diabetes treatment.
