Vioxx was released in 1999 to treat pain (usually associated with arthritis), and was subsequently removed from the market in 2004. Unfortunately, its removal came too late for many of those who had already ingested the medication. California dangerous drugs attorney John Anderson has obtained favorable settlements and results for clients who have suffered from such adverse Vioxx-related reactions as stroke, heart attack, and blood clots.

Vioxx is in a class of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Vioxx is used to reduce pain, inflammation, and stiffness caused by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and certain forms of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis; to manage acute pain in adults; to treat migraines; and to treat menstrual pain.

Severe liver problems, including hepatitis, jaundice and liver failure, occur rarely in patients taking NSAIDs, including Vioxx. Tell your doctor if you develop symptoms of liver problems. These include nausea, tiredness, itching, tenderness in the right upper abdomen, and flu-like symptoms. In addition, the following side effects have been reported: anxiety, blurred vision, confusion, decreased levels of sodium in the blood, depression, fluid in the lungs, hair loss, hallucinations, increased levels of potassium in the blood, insomnia, low blood cell counts, palpitations, pancreatitis, severe increase in blood pressure, tingling sensation, unusual headache with stiff neck (aseptic meningitis), vertigo.

The attorneys at John Anderson's Law fielded hundreds of Vioxx -related inquiries in the months following the recall, and quickly put a team of attorneys, paralegals, nurses, and reviewing experts together to investigate these potential claims.
