Vioxx®
What is Vioxx®?
Vioxx is a drug that was developed to relieve the symptoms associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in adults. Vioxx is an anti-inflammatory drug that is used to alleviate the pain that comes with adult arthritis.
Why is Vioxx® a Dangerous Drug?
Vioxx has been categorized as a dangerous drug because of the many adverse side effects consumers have reported after taking it. After consumers took Vioxx for a period of time, they developed severe physical symptoms and side effects such as:
- heart attacks
- strokes
- hypertension
- cardiovascular problems
In some tragic cases, Vioxx usage led to the wrongful death of the consumer, making it a lethal drug. Unfortunately, dangerous drugs, such as Vioxx, are often marketed to the public before negative side effects can be found or even fully researched. Because dangerous drugs are sold, and often prescribed by physicians, countless people are subjected to adverse reactions every year. Thankfully, personal injury law and pharmaceutical litigation laws protect injured consumers by allowing them to seek financial damages for their serious injuries.
