Bextra Side Effect: Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)-
Information provided by Bextra Attorneys

Bextra has been foind to cause Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). A condition in which the deep vein (a blood vessel returning blood to the heart, usually located within muscles) forms a blood clot restricting blood flow.

Deep vein thrombosis can occur anywhere in the body, but it is commonly found in the deep veins of the pelvis, thighs, and legs.

DVT may arise from physical injury to the vein, reduced blood flow (i.e. narrowed veins), and in states that allow for increased blood clotting factors (i.e. hypercoagulation or thrombophilia).

Symptoms of DVT consist of pain and swelling, but many patients who have DVT may develop no symptoms until the clot is dislodged and causes an embolism through blocking an artery in the lung.

Deep Vein Thrombosis can be treated with anti-coagulant medicines such as warfarin (Coumadin) - [a drug not indicated with the use of Vioxx].

For patients incapable of tolerating anti-coagulant medicines treatment can be obtained through the use of filters in the large vein leading to the heart.

Weitz & Luxenberg is no longer accepting Bextra cases.
