Why is it dangerous?
On September 30, 2004 Merck & Co., Inc. voluntarily withdrew the arthritis drug VIOXX from the market due to its dangerous and possibly deadly side effects. VIOXX has been linked to an increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, hypertension, and other cardiovascular or health problems.
What should I do if I took Vioxx?
Since the drug's dangers were enough for it to be withdrawn from the market,
the FDA asks that anyone on VIOXX stop taking the drug immediately. The next
step would be to contact your physician to ask what alternatives to Vioxx are
right for you. Finally, if you were prescribed Vioxx, even if you haven't noticed
any symptoms, you may be due compensation for your exposure to these health risks.
