Zyprexa Attorneys, William Kherkher

Use Your Resources

We definitely live in an "information age." With access to the Internet consumers can get their hands on all kinds of data. Consumers no longer have to depend on the professionals. They can verify what an expert says by doing their own research. But as always, consumers beware. You cannot depend on the information you see on the Internet. It should act solely as backup research. The responsibility is still with the consumer to cross reference whatever information they read on the Internet.

With access to such an abundance of information, it stands to reason that patients should take advantage of this resource. When it comes to medicine, we have to rely on the "professionals." Medicine is indeed a science, but our bodies vary so greatly that consumers should rely on their attending physician and their advice.

Nowadays even medical professionals understand that their patients are more informed and like it that way. Medical professionals take that into account by referencing Web sites and handing out literature at medical appointments.

This means that consumers should also be given or directed to adequate information regarding the medications they are taking. There are too many cases where medications are being used for other uses besides what the intended use of the medication. Normally, this does not cause too much of a problem, yet, all kinds of medications and their serious effects are in the news. Zyprexa is no exception.

Zyprexa is used to treat patients with mental disorders such as schizophrenia. But as previously mentioned, consumers use Zyprexa for other uses and consequently are suffering from severe side effects. Even the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has begun investigating Eli Lilly, the manufacturer of Zyprexa. They have required that Eli Lilly include their "black box" warning label on the packaging of Zyprexa. Eli Lilly is trying to bring another drug into the market, but because of the issues that surround Zyprexa, the FDA is delaying giving approval for marketing any new drug until they provide more information on the potential side effects of the new drug.
