Vioxx

What is Vioxx?

Vioxx is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug which was used to treat painful conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and menstrual pain.

It was prescribed from 1999 until 2004 when its manufacturers, Merck & Co voluntarily withdrew it from the global market.

The withdrawal of Vioxx was made after a study suggested that people taking the drug were more likely to suffer from cardiovascular problems such as heart attacks or strokes.

Injured by Vioxx?

It has now been recognised that Vioxx has caused a number of people harm and a jury in Texas found that the drug had actually contributed to the death of one man. Merck & Co were ordered to pay $253m damages.

If you have been injured by Vioxx or any other medicine or medical device, you may be able to make a personal injury claim for compensation.
