It seems like there may be some serious issues related to the drug Vioxx. In
fact Vioxx has been recalled from the shelves because of the adverse side
effects. Vioxx is an anti-inflammatory used in the treatment of arthritis,
but may cause heart attack, stroke and even death. If you check out
http://www.bigclassaction.com/class_action/vioxx.html they have some more
information that may be of interest. The site also offers free case
evaluations for those who have had such issues. I hope this might be of some
help.

Hi,

Newbie here: would you happen to know how long one would have
to take this drug before complications such as dangerous stroke
would take? If the drug was pulled
off the shelves, and someone was only taking it for a few months,
would that cause the same danger as when stopped? Also, what
percentage got strokes? And why did some get them, and not others?

Thanks for any information;
