Vioxx → More about Vioxx side effects

In 2004, Merck Pharmaceuticals announced a voluntarily withdrawal of Vioxx from the market due to safety concerns. Studies had shown that Vioxx increased the risk of blood clots linked to strokes and heart attacks.

Since 1999, 91 million prescriptions for Vioxx were written in the United States. In April 2002, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) implemented Vioxx labeling changes after Merck submitted a safety study finding an increased risk of serious cardiovascular events, including heart attacks and strokes, in patients taking Vioxx compared to naproxen. A recent FDA study also found patients taking Vioxx faced a 50% greater risk of heart attacks and sudden cardiac death compared to those taking Celebrex. Other studies have also suggested the increased risk of cardiovascular events for patients using Vioxx.
