Q. What do I need to know about Vioxx ?

A. On 30th September 2004 Merck & Co Inc. announced a voluntary withdrawal of Vioxx (rofecoxib) from the US and worldwide market due to the safety concerns of increased risk of cardiovascular events (including heart attacks and strokes) in patients on Vioxx. Merck made the decision independent of input from the FDA.

Q. Does todays actions suggest that other drugs in the same class are dangerous ?

A. The results of clinical studies with one drug in a given class do not necessary apply to the other drugs in the same class. All of NSAIDS have risks when taking methodically, especially of gastreo internal (stomach) bleeding but also liver and kidney toxicity. Patients using these drugs for a long period of time (longer than 2 weeks) should be under the care of a physician.
