BEXTRA AND STROKES
|
Like Vioxx, in addition to an increase in heart attacks, Bextra has also been linked to an increase in strokes by patients who have taken Bextra.
A stroke is simply described as a sudden death of brain cells due to lack of blood supply. Strokes can be caused by an artery blockage or rupture. The most common type of stroke is from a blood clot. The clot is lodged in the artery and the brain becomes deprived of oxygen and blood causing the stroke.
Recent studies comparing Bextra to a placebo have indicated that patients taking Bextra have twice the risk of strokes than those taking the placebo.
If you or a loved one has experienced a stroke or other cardiovascular problem after taking Bextra, you may have a damages claim against Pfizer. Please call or e-mail our experienced Bextra lawyers today. We will evaluate your Bextra stroke claim and help you get the settlement you deserve.
