Zyprexa coma side effects, and others like heart attacks and diabetes, are significant. In February 2004 American Diabetes Association published a Consensus Statement in its Diabetes Care journal. In that statement, American Diabetes Association, American Psychiatric Association, American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists and North American Association for Study of Obesity, stated that data consistently shows an increased risk for diabetes in patients who are treated with Zyprexa (generic – olanzapine). Zyprexa is also associated with an increase risk of coma. The findings were based on input from drug companies, consultations with numerous experts, and reviewing medical literature.What is Zyprexa? * Zyprexa is an atypical antipsychotic medication that changes chemical actions in your brain. * Zyprexa is used to treat psychotic symptoms including hallucinations, delusions, and confusion. * Zyprexa may also be used for purposes other than those listed in medication guide.

yprexa litigation has been targeted at a number of Zyprexa side-effect problems: Some patients have reported Zyprexa side-effect of gaining up to 65 pounds after taking Zyprexa. After weight gain some developed Zyprexa side-effect of diabetes or glucose abnormalities. Patients who already had Zyprexa side-effect of theit diabetes growing worse while taking Zyprexa. Worse yet -- patients died from developing diabetes. These patients were never treated for diabetes and didn’t know they had diabetes. Patients under 54 years old, face highest risk of developing Zyprexa side-effect of diabetes or having heart attacks and comas when taking Zyprexa.Have you, a family member, or dear friend been diagnosed with diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperglycemia, pancreatitis, or diabetic-induced heart attack or coma following use of Zyprexa?

Researchers have linked Zyprexa to side-effect of onset of diabetes, hyperglycemia, and neuroleptic malignant syndrome thereby creating enough concern and patient outcry to lead Japan, Europe, and most recently United States to include warnings about chronic side-effects and sometimes-fatal Zyprexa side-effect. (Japan published safety warnings two years before U.S.) Consumer groups believe that FDA had done too little too late to warn doctors and patients about risks of hyperglycemia, diabetes, ketoacidosis, heart attack, and coma from taking Zyprexa. In November 2001, Journal of American Medical Association, FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, and a Duke University Medical Center physician first possibly linked between Zyprexa side-effect of hyperglycemia in adolescents with drug. FDA staff members published a report in December 2001 American Journal of Medicine linking Zyprexa to diabetes. Both Zyprexa reports used information from FDA's adverse drug reaction database. Most recently, FDA has identified at least 384 reports of diabetes linked to Zyprexa, with majority of cases appearing within six months of starting Zyprexa treatment. This has been a major focus in Zyprexa litigation.
