Bextra Information

Bextra was finally taken back from the American market in 2005. The manufacturing company of this medication decided not to sell Bextra due to the allegation and complaints which have been lodged from different quarters of the society including FDA. This medication is dangerous because of boosting up the chance of the onset of the cardiovascular disease including heart attack and stroke. If there is any acute pain in the abdominal area after the intake of this medication, patients must consult the healthcare consultants and stop taking this medication. There are other side effects like vomiting, itching, frustration, lethargy plus the pale color of the skin due to the consumption of Bextra. Often it is also seen that patients suffer from the swelling of lips and tongue because of the overdose of this medication.

Later it was identified that this drug could enhance the risk factors of the occurrence of the cardiovascular diseases. After further investigation, the experts have also magnified the fact that this medication forms the blood clot or emboli in the vein and arteries. These emboli cause the stroke or heart attack. For this particular reason, patients need to make consultation with the healthcare consultants before consuming Bextra. As per the views of the experts, if someone consumes the overdose of this drug, he can face the brunt of Steven-Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Syndrome. In this connection in 2005, FDA issued a regulation to stop the production of this medication. If anybody gets injured due to the consumption of this drug, he can seek for the justice at the court. Bextra lawyer will help a guy to get the compensation package due to such damage which occurs for the consumption of Bextra.

However before hiring a lawyer one should know whether the lawyer has vast knowledge in the sphere of Cox-2 Inhibitors including Bextra. In this regard, he can consult seniors, relatives and other respectable persons to find the best lawyer who will assist him to win the case in the court. Like Vioxx, Bextra is also detrimental to the health of patients and FDA has passed an order to direct the healthcare centers to steer clear of this medication. In 2005, the top brass of FDA established a fact finding committee to re-evaluate other Cox-2 Inhibitors like Celebrax and Bextra properly after banning Vioxx. Even Pfizer has put restriction on the sale or distribution of Bextra following the order of FDA. Therefore, people should read online reviews to know in details regarding the various side effects of this medication.

 



     As the article and Dr. Garrett Fitzgerald suggest, Bextra® users may have an increased risk for serious cardiovascular side effects including strokes, heart attacks, heart failure, blood clots and even death. Like the recently recalled drug Vioxx, Bextra® is a member of the COX-2 inhibitor family and shares some of the criticisms that forced Merck to withdraw Vioxx® from the market on September 30, 2004.

     Bextra® (valdecoxib) has been sold since 2002 and is marketed by Pfizer and Pharmacia for the treatment of pain and tenderness associated with osteoarthritis and adult rheumatoid arthritis.

     Bextra® has been further associated with skin hypersensitivity disorders and Stevens Johnson Syndrome, an acute allergic reaction. Symptoms of such adverse reactions include blistering, sores, swelling, cough, and fever.
