If Lilly's Sepsis medication gets approval, wouldn't that more than make up for the loss of 20mg prozac?

Sunday September 2, 3:58 pm Eastern Time FBI raid Kansas City pharmacy in cancer drug case KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept 2 (Reuters) - FBI agents raided one of two pharmacies owned by a Kansas City pharmacist accused of repeatedly diluting chemotherapy drugs, an FBI spokesman said on Sunday. Spokesman Jeff Lanza said he could not detail the reason for the raid on Saturday, or what was being sought by the 25 law enforcement officers who spent four hours at the pharmacy owned by Robert Courtney. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Courtney, 48, is awaiting trial on Oct. 1 on 20 felony counts of product tampering, drug alteration and drug misbranding. At a court hearing on Monday, he pleaded not guilty to the charges. It was the second time agents have raided the pharmacy, which remains open though Courtney is in jail awaiting trial. ``We did exercise a search at the pharmacy ... but I can't say much because the affidavit is under seal by the court until Tuesday,'' Lanza said. Most courts and offices are closed on Monday for the U.S. Labor Day holiday. Hundreds of cancer patients who relied on the chemotherapy treatments for their survival may have been harmed as a result of Courtney's dilution of the drugs, according to the FBI. At least one patient who received the diluted drugs has died, and Courtney and drug manufacturer Eli Lilly & Co. (NYSE:LLY - news) are defendants in several lawsuits. Five of the suits allege that Lilly failed to alert authorities to signs that Courtney was diluting drugs sold to him by the company. biz.yahoo.com
