Good, I am glad she is getting Lily to pay up for peddling this poison.

It is a pity because had this drug been properly marketed (NOT FOR MIGRANES AND PMS) and controlled, Eli Lilly could have made boatloads of money and not caused the mayhem that has happened due to their bogus marketing and indifference to the welfare of others.

The doctor, who prescribed Prozac for WEIGHT LOSS, should be the one hit with liability. But of course in this country, people are allowed to sue the deep pockets rather than the guilty party.

If they paid up rather than go to trial, odds are pretty good the problem is much bigger than they are willing to admit. At $5MM the court case was worth fighting for Eli, so it had to be desire to keep things from leaking to public throught the case and discovery process IMHO.

Real smart. Now the cost of the lawsuit is passed on to the consumers. The same people that applaud sh** like this will be bitching about the cost of prescription drugs.
