Lilly May Settle Zyprexa Claims With More States

The Wall Street Journal is reporting today that Eli Lilly is in "advanced discussions" with attorneys general from several states--presumably ones like Utah and Connecticut--who've sued the drug maker, alleging that the company illegally marketed its antipsychotic Zyprexa. There's not much news beyond that.

Lilly has already settled about $2.7 billion in claims relating to Zyprexa and pled guilty to a criminal charge in federal court in January.

Fascinating that the majority of settlement proceeds to date have gone to the states and the federal government for off label marketing and the minority to those who actually took Zyprexa and claimed injuries. I wonder if this is a first.
