Georgia Vioxx Injury Lawyers, Helping Injured People throughout Georgia

Vioxx, a popular arthritis drug manufactured by Merck, has been linked to dangerous blood clots, heart attacks, and strokes according to a recent study by the Journal of the American Medical Association. This study leads to questions of when Merck was first aware of the fatal side effects of Vioxx and whether it failed to inform public health authorities of these effects in a timely manner. There are other side effects of Vioxx including stomach and intestinal bleeding. If left untreated these problems can lead to hospitalization or death. Allergic reactions linked to Vioxx include swelling of the face, lips, tongue and throat, which can cause difficulty in swallowing. Kidney and liver problems have also been linked to Vioxx. In a study that involved 8,000 patients, researchers believe that heart attack, stroke, sudden death and blood clots are more than two times higher in those who used Vioxx than in traditional arthritis pain treatment.
