Zyprexa Drug Rep

PharmedOut, a new project that educates physicians on how pharmaceutical companies influence prescribing, is previewing a timely video about Zyprexa (olanzapine), an antipsychotic drug approved by the FDA to treat
schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. In this video Shahram Ahari, a former pharmaceutical company representative, tells how he sold the
drug. Nearly a decade after its introduction, a drug once hailed as a breakthrough treatment is being assailed for its negative side effects.
Antipsychotic drugs are not risk-free, but doctors and patients have long complained that Zyprexa causes obesity and diabetes. This week, the New York Times reported that studies on the frequency of weight gain were underreported by the manufacturer. PharmedOut is an independent
physician-run project funded through the Attorney General Consumer and Prescriber Education grant program.

Kathryn 120: I'd tell your friend to speak to the doctor about side effects. Sebistoo: As for being on a medication for life, I'd also express any questions and concerns to the doctor. Everyone's body chemistry is different.

fuck the sideeffects what about the fucking withrawl of zyprexa the fuckheads that made this drug should be shot and fucked in the arse really hard

personal experience zyprexa is the worst medication i have ever been on it fucked me up worse then schizophrenia ever could have, this state of the art drug lowered my intelligence and my concentration and zombified me for years, ironically i take anti psychotics now but funny enough im having no problems like i did on zyprexa

What a bunch of nonsense. It's not the drug rep but physician's responsibility to search for accurate information before prescribing zyprexa. It's stupid do blame the company for trying to make money (as if your car dealer tells you all the negatives before you buy the car) . It is equally ridiculous for a psychiatrists to excuse selves from responsibility for medication's side effects. We need better doctors, not more honest drug company reps.
