Vioxx®
What is Vioxx®?
Vioxx® was a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug marketed by Merck & Co. It was part of the drug family known as COX-2 inhibitors, which also included Celebrex® and Bextra®. Vioxx® was used to treat arthritis and acute pain but was pulled from the worldwide market on September 20, 2004. Since its withdrawal, the Florida Vioxx® attorneys at the Law Offices of Robert Rubenstein, P.A. have followed news concerning Vioxx® litigation very carefully.
Why was Vioxx® pulled from the market?
Vioxx® was pulled from the market due to adverse side effects that included increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Experts estimate Vioxx® caused somewhere between 88,000 to 139,000 heart attacks.
