Vioxx® Lawsuits

Vioxx®, or rofecoxib, is an anti-inflammatory drug designed to reduce pain associated with arthritis. In 2004, the manufacturers of Vioxx®, Merck & Co., initiated a nationwide recall of the drug in response to studies that demonstrated an increased risk of heart attack and stroke for Vioxx® users who had taken the drug for more than 18 months. Since the recall, reports have surfaced which suggest that Merck & Co. may have continued to market Vioxx® despite being aware of the risk of deadly side effects associated with the drug. Our Florida Vioxx® attorneys are now investigating the liability of Merck & Co. as well as other parties involved in the manufacture and distribution of Vioxx®.
