Zyprexa Warnings over Weight Gain, Blood Sugar Elevation: NaturalNews.com

Eli Lilly and Company has announced changes to the labeling of Zyprexa and Symbyax, two brand-name atypical antipsychotics produced and sold by the company. Eli Lilly has updated the labeling to include more warning information on potentially harmful weight gain and blood sugar elevation that may result from taking the medications.

According to Eli Lilly, the label changes came about because of conversations with the FDA, as well as new analyses of the data from large clinical trials conducted by the company and others. The company will be sending a "Dear Healthcare Practitioner" letter to doctors about the new labeling, as well as informing consumer advocacy and professional associations.
