Vioxx...A History of Problems

Since Vioxx was first introduced on the market in 1999, numerous studies have continually found that it may cause serious side effects including cardiovascular problems. In September of 2001 after several of these studies had come to light, the FDA sent Merck a stern warning letter outlining the then current findings including the fact that in one study "serious cardiovascular events were twice as frequent" with Vioxx treatment. On September 30, 2004, Merck withdrew Vioxx from the market due to its on study that once again confirmed the problems with Vioxx. Please see the Vioxx Timeline for more detail on articles and studies that have shown Vioxx's history of problems.
