| ceoxx
drug is the brand name for a medication called Rofecoxib, used
to treat arthritis and pain. The brand name for this same
drug in the United States is the recalled drug, Vioxx.
Merck voluntarily withdrew Vioxx from the market on September
30, 2004. A three-year study showed that after using Ceoxx/Vioxx
for as long as 18 months, the patient, who did not have a
history of heart disease increased the patient's risk for heart
attack or stroke.
Because Vioxx/Ceoxx has been
recalled, an over-the-counter medicine, Aleve, has been reported
to be prescribed as an alternative and warnings have been issued
to closely follow the instructions on the drug's label.
Another alternative medication is Celebrex, a new class of drug
that is under the FDA's "drug watch."
Talk to your doctor for additional alternatives and further
information.
