January 29, 2009Seroquel Sales Up, Zyprexa Sales Stagnant, Cymbalta Sales Way Up In 2008AstraZeneca, maker of Seroquel, and Eli LIlly, maker of Zyprexa and Cymbalta, today both reported their 2008 financial results. For AZ (pdf here), global Seroquel revenues were up 11 percent over 2007 to $4.452 billion. US Sales of the drug were $3.015 billion, a 5 percent increase over 2007. For Lilly, Zyprexa revenues were down 1 percent (so essentially flat) at $4.696 billion versus $4.761 in 2007. The company's anti-depressant Cymbalta saw 2008 revenues jump 28 percent over 2007 to hit $2.697 billion after 2007 sales of $2.102 billion. Sales of the company's ADHD drug Strattera posted a modest 2 percent increase to $580 million after 2007 sales of $569 million. Lilly reported a loss for 2008 of $2.072 billion due to charges related to illegal off-label marketing of Zyprexa and the acquisition of ImClone. Posted by Philip Dawdy at January 29, 2009 01:10 PM

Not surprised about Zyprexa, but surprised about Cymbalta. But then i just got a letter in the mail earlier this week stating that Aetna will be lowering the deductible on my Cymbalta- from 135 a month out of pocket payment to 15. I cannot wait to start weaning off this drug..... Posted by: susan at January 29, 2009 03:43 PMI honestly do feel that all our collective efforts to get the word out on the death-dealer Zyprexa have put a dent in their sales. Including the CATIE study and the Zyprexa papers and on and on. I hope Cymbalta starts getting more bad press. Actually, I hope bad animal stories of animals on psychotropics made by Lilly get bad press. Wasn't there such a story here recently? Might make a t-shirt!
