WASHINGTON, Oct 17 - Eli Lilly and Co. has expanded its warning about possible liver-related problems with its depression drug, Cymbalta, and cautioned doctors against use in patients with chronic liver disease, U.S. health regulators said on Monday.

A new label for the drug also includes reports of hepatitis, jaundice and other liver-related problems in patients using the drug, the Food and Drug Administration said on its Web site. The drug‘s label had earlier warned against using Cymbalta in combination with alcohol.
