$18.5 Million Zyprexa Settlement
Feb 23, 2010

Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel on Tuesday announced an $18.5 million settlement of a lawsuit with Eli Lilly & Co. over off-label marketing of the anti-psychotic drug Zyprexa.

Zyprexa was approved to treat schizophrenia and certain types off bipolar disorder in adults. McDaniel's lawsuit alleged that the company engaged in "illegal and fraudulent off-label marketing of Zyprexa," pushing its use to treat dementia, aggression, depression and sleep disorders among adults.

The suit also alleged the company promoted the drug for unapproved use in children.

"They didn't care what they were doing to taxpayers and to children," McDaniel said at a news conference at the state Capitol.

Eli Lilly admitted no wrongdoing in the settlement.
