Vioxx was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in June of 1999. It has been widely prescribed, over 52 million times, since its introduction. As this drug, along with the similar drug Celebrex, came onto the market it was touted by its manufacturer as, "effective at reducing arthritis pain, inflammation and stiffness, also effective for the relief of pain and inflammation of one of the most severe forms of arthritis, rheumatic arthritis." Doctors and patients thought that they may have a perfect drug to stop arthritic and other types of pain, without the stomach irritation that was otherwise associated with NSAIDs. However, reports linking Vioxx to serious health problems have caused great concern for the millions of Americans who have taken these drugs. Vioxx lawsuit lawyers such as Larry Baron have stepped in to help victims of Vioxx strokes, Vioxx heart attacks and other Vioxx patient side-effects develop claims against the manufacturer.
