(HARTFORD, CONN.) - Connecticut is joining at least nine other states suing drug maker Eli Lilly and Co. over the antipsychotic drug Zyprexa.
Connecticut's lawsuit seeks to recover more than $190 million that that state's medical assistance program spent on Zyprexa over more than a decade.
The lawsuit accuses Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly of running an illegal marketing campaign to promote Zyprexa for unapproved off-label uses, including treating children.
