 ==Description==
-{{add}}
+For the past few years, there has been some controversy about the drug {{tag|Zyprexa}}. What we all know is that Zyprexa is an "atypical" neuroleptic (also known as an "anti-psychotic"), approved to treat schizophrenia and acute mania. At about $2.50/pill, it is a big money-maker for Eli Lilly, somewhere on the order of 4 billion dollars per year. By themselves, these facts are not controversial.

+However, it seems that some internal memos indicate that Eli Lilly knew that the {{tag|drugs|drug}} raised the risk of {{tag|diabetes}} in patients, and didn't act appropriately. They may have even misreported clinical trial data about blood-sugar risks to doctors. There is currently a class-action lawsuit underway to hold Lilly accountable. These memos indicate that Lilly initiated an internal marketting campaign to willfully downplay these deleterious effects.

+Furthermore, Lilly has been training sales reps to instruct general practitioners to prescribe Zyprexa, off-label, to elderly patients who exhibit general symptoms of dementia. These drugs are dangerous enough in the hands of specialists; general practitioners shoud not be trained by salespeople to prescribe such potent and dangerous psychopharmaceuticals. Lilly called this marketting initiative Viva Zyprexa, from which we have taken our satirical name for this campaign - Zyprexa Kills.
