Vioxx ®
Vioxx (rofecoxib)
Merck & Co., Inc. announced a voluntary withdrawal of Vioxx (rofecoxib)
from the U.S. and worldwide market due to safety concerns of an increased risk
of cardiovascular events (including heart attack and stroke) in patients on
Vioxx. Vioxx is a prescription COX-2 selective, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
drug (NSAID) that was approved by FDA in May 1999 for the relief of the signs
and symptoms of osteoarthritis, for the management of acute pain in adults,
and for the treatment of menstrual symptoms, and was later approved for the
relief of the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis in adults and children.
