Here’s some medical news on the Vioxx Lawsuit that’s more related to medical technology. It’s something to take note if you take this Vioxx. It’s always necessary to be careful of the dose that you take for any medicine.
The prescription painkiller Vioxx (Rofecoxib) has been recalled from the marketplace by its manufacturer Merck Pharmaceuticals. Vioxx, which is used to relieve symptoms of arthritis, acute pain in adults and painful menstrual cycles, was recalled after data collected from a clinical trial indicated that those taking Vioxx had a 100% greater chance of a severe coronary event such as a heart attack, stroke and/or sudden death. Since its introduction in 1999, upwards of 20 million Americans have taken Vioxx. It is estimated that at least 2 million Americans are currently using the drug.
