idk why someone would get fired. they said it increases chance of stroke/heart attack...now they say it doesn't. if you're saying the scientist that said it increases risk is going to get fired, i'm sure they have better things to do than that

I wonder what this will do to all of the lawsuits that are pending. The moment this drug was recalled, lawyers pounced on the opportunity to make a quick buck.

yeap. it was the new fen/phen

i took vioxx for about ayear. i had lawyers calling and mailing me wanting to represent me in a suit.

Since my heart is fine i never bothered with it.

wow...if this is true. They already lost billions on this, even if the drug comes back on the market.

I wouldnt use it. not because of the faulty research. but because it really does not work.

it didnt do a thing for my arthritis pain. though vioxx is intended for mild arthritis. i have it a little worse then that.(have a standing priscription for darvacet).

the pain clinic i go to also said not many people found vioxx helpfull.
