Zyprexa
In May 2003, studies indicated that using Zyprexa, an antipsychotic drug manufactured by Eli Lilly and Company commonly used for the treatment of schizophrenia, can potentially result in diabetes. The FDA is considering, but has not yet required, Zyprexa and other antipsychotic drugs to highlight the risk of weight gain and diabetes on labeling and in advertising. Several consumer protection groups have been critical of the FDA for its failure in requiring proper warnings of the serious and potentially deadly health risks involved with taking Zyprexa. In addition to diabetes, other side effects include headache, weight gain, hyperglycemia, ketoacidosis, constipation, nausea, dry mouth, drowsiness, dizziness, agitation.
