    Description:

    Eli Lilly and Company is an American pharmaceutical company headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, with offices in 18 countries. Its products are sold in approximately 125 countries. The company was founded in 1876 by, and named after, Colonel Eli Lilly, a pharmaceutical chemist and veteran of the American Civil War. As of 2022, Lilly is known for its clinical depression drugs Prozac (fluoxetine) (1986) and Cymbalta (duloxetine) (2004) and antipsychotic medication Zyprexa (olanzapine) (1996), though its primary revenue drivers are diabetes drugs Humalog (insulin lispro) (1996) and Trulicity (dulaglutide) (2014). Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) today announced (January 2021) a $30 million limited partner investment in Unseen Capital Health Fund LP, a newly-formed venture fund created by racially diverse and historically underrepresented business leaders. For over 140 years, 100 medicines have been discovered.
