Excerpts:

Golden said the company is increasing its sales force, adding 100 people to its neurosciences unit, primarily selling Zyprexa and blockbuster Prozac drug, and 510 to sell its diabetes drugs. Lilly is in a partnership with Takeda Chemical Industries Ltd. , which recently filed a new drug application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the diabetes drug ACTOS.

Zyprexa sales made the biggest gain in the year, nearly doubling to $1.44 billion. Sales of Evista, which hit the U.S. market in January 1998, were $144 million. In December, the FDA granted Lilly permission to include on the Evista label that there is a lower incidence of breast cancer in post-menopausal women taking the drug.
