What are the side effects associated with Vioxx Celebrex?
A recent study out of the Cleveland Clinic noted an increase in the development of myocardial infarctions, or heart attacks, in people treated with Vioxx, when compared with those treated with naproxen (a standard NSAID). In addition, during June, 2001 there was a case of a 67-year-old woman who developed a type of kidney failure that was attributed to Vioxx based on her recovery once she stopped taking the drug.
