The prescription drug Vioxx is manufactured by Merck & Co., Inc. ("Merck") and dispensed as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory prescription arthritis drug known as rofecoxib tablets. In April 1999 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Vioxx by way of a New Drug Application was available to the public shortly after that. In fact, Merck began widely distributing and selling Vioxx throughout the United States in May 1999. Regardless of clinical trials and research that showed that Vioxx posed a threat of hypertension and/or hypertension - related side effects, Merck made the drug available to the public, reporting that the arthritis drug was effective and safe for a variety of users.

Merck has stated that Vioxx has been prescribed to over 84 million people in the last five years and 2 million patients are currently taking the drug. Vioxx was taken off the market in the United States and throughout the entire world on September 30, 2004 due to its association with cardiovascular problems, heart attacks, strokes, and other serious and possibly fatal side effects. Extensive research by Merck has shown that people who take the prescription drug Vioxx are at twice the risk for strokes, heart attacks, and other cardiovascular problems than people who do not take the drug. The results of the research have prompted Merck to remove the drug from the market.

If you or a loved one have previously, or are currently taking the arthritis drug Vioxx you may be at risk for serious or possibly fatal side effects, including cardiovascular injuries and heart attacks. You should seek a medical professional immediately to be evaluated and find out if you have suffered dangerous physical problems due to your use of Vioxx.
