Maryland Vioxx Lawyer

Vioxx is recalled after being linked to heart attack and Stroke. Studies show 17 to 24 percent increase in heart attack risk compared to other types of pain relief drugs.

Vioxx, a prescription medicine produced by, Merck & Co., was voluntarily withdrawn on September 30, 2004 due to evidence linking it to significantly increased risk of cardiovascular problems including heart attack and stroke. Vioxx is classified as a COX-2 inhibitor, a type of drug thought to be safer for the gastrointestinal system than nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Unfortunately, the cardiovascular safety of this drug family has come under significant scrutiny.

Following a three-year drug study researchers concluded that withdrawing Vioxx from the market would be in the best interest of the patients. Vioxx, a popular pain reliever used by millions of patients, has also been connected with higher incidences of respiratory and liver and kidney dysfunction.
