The pharmaceutical company Merck & Co., which made over $2.55 billion last year on worldwide sales of Vioxx, has decided to pull the prescription arthritis drug off the market due to serious side effects. Vioxx, an anti - inflammatory drug, sold as Rofecoxib tablets has been linked to an increased risk of a variety of dangerous and deadly side effects including strokes, heart attacks, and cardiovascular problems, as well causing diarrhea and nausea. If you have taken, or are currently taking the arthritis prescription drug Vioxx, please seek medical attention immediately!

The FDA granted Merck the approval to distribute and sell Vioxx worldwide in the spring of 1999. The drug is currently taken by over two million people who suffer from arthritis world wide, and has been taken by over 84 million people since it became available to the public. Recent studies have shown that Vioxx users, especially those who have taken the drug for 18 months, have a higher risk for serious health problems such as blood clots, hypertension, and heart ailments. Due to the increased risk of serious side effects, on September 30, 2004, Merck has decided to stop all sales of Vioxx.

Patients, who are taking or have taken Vioxx, sold as Rofecoxib tablets to treat arthritis, pain, and headaches are at risk for dangerous side effects and should seek medical attention right away. You may be experiencing possibly fatal side effects and should be examined by your doctor right away.
