Zyprexa®, a prescription medication used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, can have dangerous and potentially fatal side effects. Reported Zyprexa side effects include diabetes, hyperglycemia, and ketoacidosis. Most of the diabetes-related side effects of Zyprexa were reported by patients within the first six months of treatment. These illnesses linked to Zyprexa can have serious consequences, in some cases resulting in diabetic coma, which can be life threatening.

Scientific studies have now shown that the use of Zyprexa is associated with an increase risk of diabetes and other blood sugar disorders. However, it was not until Sept of 2003 that the manufacturer began advising that the use of Zyprexa was associated with diabetes, hyperglycemia, and other disorders. The FDA is now requiring a warning on Zyprexa.
