Zyprexa Claim

A Zyprexa claim may be filed by individuals who have been injured by the serious side effects caused by Zyprexa. Zyprexa is a second generation antipsychotic (SGA) prescription drug produced by the US based pharmaceutical company, Eli Lilly. In 1996, Zyprexa was approved to treat schizophrenia and bipolar mania in the United States. Zyprexa is one drug in a group of antipsychotics that is used to treat these mental conditions. This second generation of medicines was developed in hopes of reducing adverse side effects associated with the first round of antipsychotics.

Unfortunately, Zyprexa use also causes serious side effects that can cause significant injury to its users. When patients are injured as a result of Zyprexa side effects, they may be eligible to file a Zyprexa claim to recover their damages. Common side effects from Zyprexa use may include: drowsiness, dizziness, weight gain, weakness, tremors or motor agitation, difficulty with bowel movement, nausea, and seizure.

The effects of Zyprexa on pregnancy and nursing are unknown; therefore it is suggested that this population not take Zyprexa. Zyprexa might also interact with other drugs or supplements an individual takes. Speaking with a medical profession about a patient''s full medical history and present medical condition is crucial to avoid further adverse Zyprexa side effects.

In 2003 the Federal Drug Administration mandated the addition of a warning label to all second generation antipsychotics, after studies found even more serious side effects associated with Zyprexa. A Duke University study, published in July of 2002, revealed that Zyprexa increases a patient''s risk of developing or worsening diabetes mellitus, ketoacidosis, hyperglycemia, Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome, Pancreatitis, and Diabetic Coma. These findings came after foreign scrutiny of Zyprexa side effects by the British and Japanese governments. The FDA required the revisal of SGA warning labels to include information about these serious and life threatening risks associated with Zyprexa use.

Symptoms that may indicate serious health side effects from Zyprexa include: changes in blood pressure and heart beat, difficulty breathing, increased thirst, hunger and urination, headache, stomach pain or nausea, weight loss, stiff muscles, a slowed healing process, weakness and fatigue, and seizures. If you experience any of these symptoms it is important to seek immediate medical attention.

When a manufacture markets a product that causes serious side effects, they can be held strictly liable for injuries that patients suffer as a result of using their product. If you have been injured as a result of Zyprexa use, you may be eligible to file a Zyprexa claim to recover damages associated with your medical problems and pain and suffering. A qualified personal injury attorney can help you discover your legal rights and options in a Zyprexa claim. They can also protect and maximize your interests in the Zyprexa claim process so that you can receive fair compensation for your Zyprexa injuries.
