Lilly Limits Zyprexa Sales as 340B Price Falls to a Penny

Allocation system is the first since OPA issued policy clarification in November
 

Print Article

April 4, 2012—Drug manufacturer Eli Lilly and Co. is limiting sales of its widely used atypical antipsychotic Zyprexa (olanzapine) in light of the drug’s 340B ceiling price falling to $0.01 under the Office of Pharmacy Affairs’ (OPA) “penny pricing” policy.

The company notified OPA that it was instituting the purchasing limits in a March 28 letter that OPA posted on its home page on April 2. It marks the first time that a manufacturer has announced an allocation system for one of its products since OPA clarified its penny-pricing policy last November.
