Eli Lilly marketed the antipsychotic drug Zyprexa for off-label use despite knowledge that was not effective, Bloomberg News reports. According to unsealed company documents, the drugmaker was aware that Zyprexa did not work on elderly patients with dementia but urged doctors to prescribe the drug anyway. The documents also showed that Lilly compiled an extensive playbook on recruiting doctors to contribute studies favorable to their drugs.

Several other drugs have been in the news in recent years including Digitek, Byetta and Ortho Evra. If you believe you have taken a prescription medication that has caused you injury, please contact Ed Wallis today:
