Vioxx® pulled from market: But is this reason to celebrate?
The cable news channel I was watching today proclaimed the startling news that Merck had withdrawn its multi-billion-dollar arthritis drug, Vioxx®, from shelves worldwide because the medication had been linked to severe and even fatal heart complications. The report advised anyone taking Vioxx® to contact their physicians about prescribing alternative medications. The station then broke immediately to a commercial for Celebrex®. As a physician who has been cautioning patients about the ills of both medications, I did not feel the urge to dance like the stars of so many commercials for arthritis remedies. Both Celebrex® and Vioxx® are known as COX-2 inhibitors, a sub-class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDS. Older NSAIDS include ibuprofen, naproxen, indomethacin, and many others, including the prototype aspirin. In 1998, fatalities due to NSAIDS among arthritis sufferers rivaled deaths from AIDS.
