Bextra

Defective or recalled drugs cause lives to be destroyed. Can you imagine taking a drug you thought was safe and then turned out to damage your body? Or perhaps worse—kill a loved one?

Preliminary studies have indicated that Bextra (valdecoxib), an arthritis drug manufactured by Pfizer, Inc., could potentially be one of the leading causes of Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and erythema multiforme (EM) due to drug allergy reactions. These studies also indicate that Bextra, like Vioxx (another COX-2 inhibitor that was recently pulled from the shelves by its manufacturer, Merck & Co. Inc.), may be linked with greatly increased risks of cardiovascular (CV) events such as heart attacks and strokes.

Because this drug was so aggressively marketed, Pfizer has enjoyed millions of dollars in profit from it. As a result, experts predict the final damages amount to be in the billions.

Millions of people in the U.S. have been prescribed Bextra. Anyone who has used Bextra on a regular basis is at risk. Any of the highly-qualified and experienced Bextra attorneys that you see on the panels on both sides of the page will help you get the guidance you deserve. Even though health risks for Bextra have been exposed, Pfizer is still potentially responsible for side effects suffered by people taking the drug.
