Merck, the manufacturer of Vioxx, voluntarily withdrew the pain reliever from the market on September 30, 2004, due to its dangerous and possibly deadly side-effects. Approved by the FDA in 1999, Vioxx quickly gained popularity for use in treating arthritis, menstrual pain and other medical conditions. More than 84 million people around the world used Vioxx before studies linked the drug to the increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, hypertension and cardiovascular problems.
In keeping with our policy of exclusively representing people who have suffered the most severe injuries, in the case of Vioxx use, this means representing people who have suffered a stroke or a heart attack. The following is a list of some of the other side effects associated with Vioxx:
- Blood clots
- Bleeding Stomach Ulcers
- Cardiovascular problems
- Heart attack
- Hypertension
- Irregular heart beat
- Kidney difficulty

If you have taken Vioxx, or have experienced any of these side-effects, you need to contact a medical professional immediately to discuss other treatment options. For information on other discontinued pharmaceuticals including Bextra, click here.
