FDA Wants Black Box Warning on Glaxo's Avandia and Lilly's Actos

Eli Lilly makes zyprexa that can give you diabetes,THEN turn around and sell you Actos to treat the diabetes which in turn can cause heart damage.

Eli Lilly makes billions on diabetes treatment and also gets $4.2 billion a year in sales of their biggest cash cow Zyprexa which has been scandalized as *causing* diabetes as a major side effect.

(In 2004, the American Diabetes Association found that Zyprexa was more likely to cause diabetes than many other antipsychotic drugs.)
