Beware!: FDA Urges caution with COX-2 Drugs Vioxx, Celebrex, and Bextra |
|
|
The FDA issues an advisory yesterday recommending limited use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug products (NSAIDs), otherwise known as Cox-2 Inhibitors. Such drugs include Celebrex (celecoxib) and Bextra (valdecoxib) and Vioxx and naproxen. New evidence has shown that these medications "may increase the risk of heart attack and stroke". Calls are being made for hearings on how the FDA is handling Vioxx safety issues.
