    Risperdal reproached.
    Same saga here as Eli Lilly Zyprexa.
    Johnson and Johnson is a trusted brand we associate with babies.
    Risperdal,Zyprexa,as well as the other atypical antipsychotics, are being prescribed for children, even though this is an unapproved, off-label use. An estimated 2.5 million children are now taking atypical antipsychotics. Over half are being given them for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder,many of these foster children.
    Weight gain, increases in triglyceride levels and associated risks for (life-long) diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
    Eli Lilly made $67 BILLION on Zyprexa!

    I am glad to see this award but I feel that in these cases the first thing that should be established is what a company made off of the fraud. Take that amount first in damages and then add punitive damages so high that it becomes a huge loss as well as an embarrasment to the company. In this way the message is clearly sent that it is unprofitable to cheat. In most cases the fine is only part of the money made so there is no real punishment. The only real way to stop the speeding and fraud is to make sure thare is not only no profit, but a real loss for the company or person to deal with as well. In a lot of cases these last few years the punishment does not cover the crime. When that happens where is the deterrant.
