Cox-2 Inhibitors Fatal
Side Effects
Once touted as a safer and better class of pain medicines
with limited gastrointestinal effects, Vioxx (Rofecoxib)
and Bextra (Valdexicob) have been removed from the
market, and Celebrex (Celecoxib), which is within
the same family of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory
Drugs (NSAIDs), is now dispensed with a black box
warning of its potentially fatal side effects. Its
important to call an experienced Vioxx lawyer. A Vioxx
lawyer has the know how to guide your claim to a successful
result. A Vioxx lawyer can effectively pull together
the resources you need to get the right results.

Studies indicate that chronic use of these drugs
may increase a person's risk of serious blood clots,
heart attacks and strokes threefold. The drugs may
also cause kidney problems. If you or a loved one
feel that you are at an increased risk for any one
of the ailments listed above and have taken Vioxx,
Bextra or Celecoxib you should consider calling a
Vioxx law firm, a Bextra law firm or a Celecoxib law
firm immediately. Here you will be able to consult
with a Vioxx attorney, a Bextra attorney or a Celecoxib
attorney to discuss your potential claim.
There is some evidence that Merck & Co., Inc., the
company responsible for placing Vioxx on the market,
was well aware of the increased risks the drug posed
to patients, yet hid those findings for the sake of
profits. A Vioxx lawyer has the very documents which
prove what Merck knew and when it knew it. Merck marketed
its product without adequately warning consumers or
physicians of the potential effects, causing death
and injury to countless Americans. Pfizer Inc., the
company that manufactured Bextra, initially claimed
its drug did not have the same cardiovascular effects
as Vioxx, but the drug was pulled from the market
after studies of chronic use indicated that it also
posed severe cardiovascular risks for consumers. A
Bextra lawyer can help you process your claim and
obtain the compensation you deserve. Similar cardiovascular
effects of Celebrex were discovered in studies that
revealed threats posed by Bextra. Though the FDA has
not removed Celebrex from the market, it has issued
a black box warning for the drug, the most severe
warning placed on prescription drug labels. Your Celebrex
lawyer has access to the documents which the FDA relied
upon in making its decisions. The FDA forbids advertisements
to physicians regarding the availability of drugs
for which it has issued a black box warning.
On August 19, 2005, a Texas jury found pharmaceutical
giant Merck & Co. liable for the death of a man who
took the once-popular painkiller Vioxx, awarding his
widow $253.4 million in compensatory and punitive
damages in the first of thousands of lawsuits pending
across the country. As a Vioxx attorney, and a Vioxx
lawyer, we can help you achieve the results your case
deserves.
