Drug maker Eli Lilly & Co. faces a raft of new lawsuits concerning its psychiatric drug, Zyprexa. 
 
The drug, approved in 1996, was since found to be a causative factor in diabetes and other illnesses.  
 
The company settled some lawsuits for a total of $700 million last year but thousands of new suits have emerged despite the appearance of warnings about the drug in 2003. 
 
Some of the suits allege the drug was promoted for other than its approved uses, sometimes for children. Other suits have been filed by some States, to reimburse the costs of treating long-term side effects in patients. 
 
There are even accusations of violations of racketeering laws, in which doctors or organizations were allegedly paid to promote the drug.

April 20 (Bloomberg) -- Eli Lilly & Co., which settled litigation over its Zyprexa drug for $700 million last year, faces thousands of new patient claims, three state lawsuits and government probes into marketing of the schizophrenia pill.
 
The new suits say, as the old ones did, that Indianapolis- based Lilly failed to warn that Zyprexa can cause diabetes and other illnesses. Patients also charge that Lilly improperly promoted Zyprexa, its top-selling drug, for uses not approved by regulators.
