The Food and Drug Administration
has ordered Merck & Company to cease promotions
intended to persuade doctors to prescribe its
arthritis painkiller Vioxx, saying the promotions
minimize potential risks. Merck has until Oct.

another painkiller, naproxen, suggested that Vioxx

Vioxx
and Celebrex belong to a class of drugs called
Cox-2 inhibitors that are used to treat individuals
who suffer from osteoarthritis, menstrual cramps,
or other acute pain. These drugs have recently

Vioxx/Celebrex Information site offers a wealth
of information on many aspects of Vioxx and
Celebrex. We also offer legal information and
resources for anyone who has suffered health
