Used Vioxx?

Our DC and Boston Injury Attorneys Hold Drug Companies Responsible for Injuries

Vioxx is a prescription drug intended to treat arthritis. A three-year study found a connection between Vioxx usage and increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. Its manufacturer, Merck, voluntarily recalled the drug on September 30, 2004.

Vioxx Dangers

Vioxx has been linked to increased risk of serious conditions such as sudden cardiac death, heart attack, stomach problems (such as intestinal bleeding), serious allergic reactions and kidney and liver failure. Since the recall, many Washington, D.C., and Boston residents who used Vioxx have spoken with a lawyer regarding possible compensation. Time is of the essence, as victims have a limited amount of time after the recall to act.
