On September 30, 2004, Merck & Co., Inc. announced a voluntary
withdrawal of Vioxx™ from the market due to safety concerns of
an increased risk of cardiovascular events in patients using
Vioxx (also known as rofecoxib),
Vioxx is a prescription drug frequently
taken to reduce pain, inflammation and stiffness caused by
osteoarthritis. It has had a variety of other prescribed uses including
treatment of acute pain in adults and to treatment of menstrual pain.
Merck contacted the FDA on September 27, 2004, to advise the agency that
the long-term study of Vioxx in patients at increased risk of colon
polyps had been halted. Concern have been raised about a significantly elevated relative risk
of cardiac complications, stroke or even death.
