Lilly - Zyprexa: $17.6 m settlement in Canada

Class action settlement in drug for schizophrenia - thestar.com

Canadian courts have approved a $17.6 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit launched by individuals who became diabetic after taking an antipsychotic drug.

The settlement with Eli Lilly, manufacturer of Zyprexa, was announced Wednesday. It stems from allegations that the drug giant failed to warn about risks of severe weight gain, diabetes, hyperglycemia and pancreatitis.
