Vioxx Attorneys

Vioxx is a Cox-2 inhibitor, a class of drug that was released on the U.S. market several years ago to treat osteoarthritis and other types of pain. Vioxx was advertised as a great medical development in the many ads that promoted its benefits. Merck claimed that Vioxx relieved pain without causing stomach problems.

Unfortunately, Vioxx poses troubling effects for some users. The Food and Drug Administration ordered Merck & Co. to stop promotions aimed at getting doctors to prescribe its arthritis painkiller Vioxx, saying they minimize potential safety risks. Vioxx was then recalled from the market after studies showed it caused an increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular events.

The advantage to retaining a Vioxx attorney is that the victim will be represented by an attorney who understands their problems. Experienced Vioxx attorneys understand the long-term side-effects for plaintiffs and their families, which means Vioxx attorneys are prepared to fight to ensure that their clients receive proper compensation. Many Vioxx attorneys are able to obtain large settlements from defendant corporations without having to go to trial. Vioxx attorneys can also help victims and their families form reasonable expectations and make sensible decisions.

If you or someone you love has taken Vioxx and suffered from a heart attack or stroke, a Vioxx attorney may be the best option for you. A Vioxx attorney can offer clients expertise in the side effects of this common arthritis pain medication and they are familiar with the very specific regulations that govern medical products liability.
