Del. to get $1M from Eli Lilly settlement

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - October 8, 2008 The settlement announced Tuesday resolves an investigation into the company's marketing of the antipsychotic drug Zyprexa for off-label uses.

Attorneys general from several states had accused Lilly of marketing the drug for pediatric care, for use at a high dose and for the treatment of dementia. The company also was accused of inadequately disclosing the drug's side effects to health care providers.

The company did not admit wrongdoing in the settlement.
