Zyprexa

Defective Drug Lawyers: Zyprexa Litigation

Zyprexa is one of Eli Lilly's best-selling products, with sales of $4.2 billion in 2005, according to the New York Times. That year, more than two million people worldwide took the anti-psychotic drug, which the FDA approved for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Some doctors also prescribe it to treat depression and anxiety.

Thousands of people who took Zyprexa (Olanzapine) have developed diabetes, pancreatitis and hyperglycemia. Some have even died from diabetes-related heart attacks.

Hersh & Hersh Filed the First Zyprexa Claim

In 2003, the attorneys of Hersh & Hersh filed the first claim on behalf of people injured by Zyprexa. As we researched the case, we were contacted by more and more people who had suffered significant injuries from this dangerous drug. The case developed into a large, multi-district lawsuit that eventually involved thousands of plaintiffs.

In 2005, Lilly paid $700 million to settle a group of 8,000 claims, including our clients. Even in large-scale litigation, our clients receive personal attention. We pressed for maximum compensation for our clients, who received the biggest average share of the settlement.

Mid-way through the litigation, the FDA required Eli Lily to put a warning on the drug's label, something health agencies in Japan and Great Britain had done earlier.
