Celebrex Warning

The FDA is encouraging physicians to consider alternatives to Celebrex for the treatment of arthritis pain.

Celebrex and Other Cox-2 Inhibitors

Celebrex is not the only arthritis drug to be associated with serious cardiovascular side effects. Vioxx, another Cox-2 Inhibitor, was recalled in September 2004 after a clinical study provided evidence of serious heart risks.

Healthcare professionals had speculated as early as 2000 that Vioxx may be linked to increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. Just two weeks after the Vioxx recall, Pfizer announced a new study linked Bextra with similar side effectsWinder & Haslam also is representing people injured by Vioxx and Bextra.
