Studies conducted recently show that Vioxx users are at much higher risk for strokes and heart attacks. In response, the pharmaceutical company Merck has voluntarily decided to take Vioxx off the market. The Food and Drug Administration recommends that Vioxx users consult their physicians to determine whether they should switch to another medication.

For the past 30 years, the lawyers at the West Law Firm, in Shawnee, Oklahoma, have provided clients with representation against pharmaceutical companies providing dangerous or defective drugs for public consumption. Our lawyers have extensive experience representing victims of personal injury suffered through the use of pharmaceutical drugs, such as Vioxx.

Vioxx is an anti-arthritis drug that has also been touted as a potential cancer drug. Vioxx is often taken for acute pain and disorders like carpal tunnel syndrome.

A recent three-year study of Vioxx showed an alarming increase in stroke and heart failure among users. The study also showed additional side effects, including gastro-intestinal bleeding and liver and kidney toxicity.

If you are currently taking Vioxx, you should contact you doctor to see if there are safer drugs on the market.
