The Vioxx® Recall

Several Jackson, Mississippi area residents have turned to the Vioxx® drug attorneys at Coxwell & Associates for help with their defective drug claim.

Vioxx® was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1999 as a drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and symptoms associated with menstruation. Vioxx® has been used by thousands of individuals looking to relieve the above illnesses; however, the drug has caused serious side effects resulting in several lawsuits against the drug's manufacturer, Merck & Co., Inc.

Vioxx® is known as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and is classified as a “Cox-2 inhibitor.” Cox-2 inhibitors have pain killing effects without side effects like stomach irritation; however, they hinder the blood’s ability to clot. This can cause serious cardiovascular problems for patients using Vioxx® and other Cox-2 inhibitor drugs.
