Generic Name: Olanzapine
Approved by the FDA to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, this drug is all too often prescribed to treat dementia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), gambling addictions, and post-partum depression.
Dr. David Graham, the FDA employee/whistleblower (a constant thorn in the side of Big Pharma), testified – “Eli Lilly’s antipsychotic drug Zyprexa needs a thorough Congressional investigation. The drug (known to cause diabetes), is approved for adult schizophrenics and is being paid for by taxpayer-funded programs.”
ZYPREXA accounts for 28% of Eli Lilly sales, leading people to wonder why the FDA sits by and allows billions of $$ of Zyprexa to be prescribed for children with mild behavioral issues, when it was never approved for use in children – safety for children is unknown.
