BEXTRA AND HEART ATTACKS

First Vioxx was removed from the market because of the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Now Bextra, the same-genre prescription painkiller made by Pfizer, has also been found by a study to pose an increased risk of heart attack and stroke among users.

Bextra and Cardiovascular Events

The study, as presented to the American Heart Association in November 2004, sought to confirm the increased risk of heart attacks for open-heart surgery patients taking a Cox-2 drug such as Bextra.

The FDA is expected to require Pfizer to add a black box warning on Bextra that would strongly alert patients of the possible high heart attack and stroke risk in using the arthritis pain reliever.
