Vioxx Users: How to Lessen Pain Naturally
November 07 , 2004 by Doctor Fitness
Recently, Pfizer's pain relieving, anti-inflammatory drug, Celebrex was being questioned for its safety when reports out of Canada said that a number of people had died from a stroke or heart attack while on the drug. A company spokesperson for Pfizer said that these people did not die from the drug but were already sick.
A report from the British medical journal, The Lancet, said researchers at the University of Berne reported there was substantial evidence of the dangerous side effects of the drug Vioxx by the end of 2000, but the mounting data was not analyzed properly. "Our findings indicate that rofecoxib, (Vioxx) should have been withdrawn several years earlier," the scientists said.
Merck did not recall Vioxx, a COX-2 inhibitor taken by about 20 million Americans, from the worldwide market until Sept. 30, 2004.
