If you are currently taking the prescription drug Vioxx you should seek medical attention and discontinue use of the medication immediately. On September 30, 2004 Merck & Co., Inc. has voluntarily taken the arthritis drug off of the market due to dangerous cardiovascular side effects that pose a variety of serious threats to patients. The Food and Drug Administration approved of Vioxx in 1999, and released it to the public in May of that year despite clinical tests that showed links to hypertension. The drug, which is taken orally, is used to treat arthritis, menstrual pain, and other types of pain in adults, and was recently approved for use in treating children before it was recalled in September.

Since its release, Vioxx has been prescribed to approximately 100 million people worldwide, and it is estimated that close to two million people are currently taking the drug. Recent studies have shown that patients who have taken Vioxx for 18 or more months are at extreme risk for heart attacks, strokes, and other heart related problems.

If you have taken the prescription drug Vioxx, and have suffered from any serious side effects, including heart attack, stroke, or other cardiovascular disorders you should hire competent legal representation to protect your rights.
