South Carolina’s attorney general, Henry McMaster, said the state had reached a $45 million settlement with the drug maker Eli Lilly & Company over the company’s marketing of an antipsychotic drug. Mr. McMaster’s office said Friday that the agreement was the second-largest settlement deal in state history.
He sued Lilly, which is based in Indiana, in 2007, arguing that it had improperly marketed the drug, Zyprexa. The settlement recovers state money used to treat illnesses said to have been caused by the drug.
In October 2008, Lilly reached a $62 million settlement with 32 states that had sued over Zyprexa.

Eli Lilly has made $38 billion on Zyprexa and it was way oversold and caused diabetes and in some cases sudden death.
Eli Lilly has received a huge criminal fine over their Zyprexa cash cow,add it all up comes to $4.6 billion, in Zyprexa settlements,fines,litigation.
Addictive Zyprexa was pushed by Lilly Drug Reps.
They called it the "Five at Five" (5 mg at 5 pm to keep nursing home patients subdued and sleepy) and "VIVA ZYPREXA" (Zyprexa for everybody) campaigns to off label market Eli Lilly Zyprexa as a fix for unapproved usage.
Eli Lilly is 'reaping the whirlwind' for aggressive marketing of Zyprexa that has caused suffering and deaths.
There must be millions out there harmed by this drug.
