On September 30, 2004 Merck, the manufacturer of the drug Vioxx recalled Vioxx.

Vioxx was developed to be a safer pain reliever than older medications like Ibuprofen, but the side effects for Vioxx can be much worse.

Several studies, such as VICTOR, VIGOR and APPROVe have led to the conclusion that Vioxx can cause heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular injuries.

Vioxx can be most hazardous if taken longer than 18 months, although there have been reports of side effects after taking Vioxx for a shorter time. Typically, side effects such as heart attack and stroke occur within 6 months of taking Vioxx.

If you or a loved one has suffered due to a side effect of Vioxx, you can fill out this simple form for a free case review within 24 hours.

Weitz & Luxenberg is no longer accepting Vioxx cases.
