Vioxx

Vioxx is a Cox-2 inhibitor, manufactured by Merck & Co. Vioxx was used to treat osteoarthritis, severe menstrual cramps and acute pain before being withdrawn from the market. Vioxx was linked to an increased risk of blood clots, heart attack, stroke and sudden death in a 2001 study. Long-term patients, especially those who used Vioxx for more than 18 months, were found to be at a greater risk of developing severe Vioxx side effects.
