Zyprexia Causing Breast Tumors
[posted 7/27/98]
Question: I read an article on another medical site that said something about
zyprexia could cause breast tumors. Is that true? I am taking 15 mg a day. And cancer runs
in my family. Should I be concerned about zyprexia causing breast tumors? I would
appreciate any information that you could give me.
Answer: This would be news to me. It's not mentioned in the PDR, you might check with the company Lily: 800-545-5979.
