Vioxx Information
Overview of Vioxx and Helpful Vioxx Information
Vioxx is a pain relief drug for arthritis. Upon its release vioxx experienced
immediate success. Vioxx was distributed to more than 30,000 pharmacies within
eleven days after approval. Vioxx manufacturer, Merck and co. has found itself
in the middle of lawsuits for the life threatening side effects that have
occurred. Vioxx manufacturer, Merck has been warned by the FDA to change their
advertising regarding the company's misrepresentation of safety information,
unsubstantiated comparative claims, the lack of fair balance, and the
inappropriate representation of efficacy information.
Vioxx and competitor Celebrex used marketing strategies to try to differentiate
themselves from one another, emphasizing small differences until the advantages
severely outweighed its flaws. The FDA attributed the competition between Vioxx
and Celebrex to insufficient warning to doctors and patients of the serious
risks and adverse effects of Vioxx. Arthritis affects 40 million people in the
U.S. with millions of these people relying on medications like Vioxx for relief.
