Vioxx Recall

Merck & Co. recalled its blockbuster drug Vioxx (rofecoxib) on September 30, 2004 following the release of results of a clinical study showing that Vioxx users had an increased risk of suffering a heart attack and stroke. The study, called APPROVe confirmed what older studies such as VIGOR had already found in 1999/2000: Vioxx poses significant cardiovascular health risks and increases the chances of adverse events such as heart attack and stroke. Now Merck is facing thousands of lawsuits filed by victims who suffered because they took Vioxx.

Bextra Recall

Pfizer recalled its popular Cox-2 inhibitor Bectra (valdecoxib) on April 7, 2005 at the request of the FDA. The FDA concluded that Bextra’s health risks outweighed its benefits. In addition to cardiovascular side effects such as heart attack and stroke, Bextra has been linked with the potentially fatal skin disorder Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS). SJS is a severe allergic reaction that causes blistering and swelling of the skin and mucous membranes of the body.
