Bextra Recall Lawyers

WARNING: The prescription drug BEXTRA has been recalled due to dangerous health risks, including heart attacks, stroke and Stevens-Johnson Syndrome.

Millions of people have taken the prescription pain reliever Bextra since it was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in November 2001. The anti-inflammatory drug, which is manufactured by Pfizer, is used to relieve pain associated with painful menstrual cycles, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Bextra is a COX 2 inhibitor taken in a dosage of 10mg or 20mg per day, which is dependant upon the patient's medical status and need.

The American Heart Association's recent study of approximately 6,000 patients was conducted to determine the risks and benefits of Bextra. The outcome of the study presented serious concerns regarding the health consequences of Bextra, showing that the drug doubled the event of cardiovascular problems, as compared to study participants taking placebos.

A variety of serious side and deadly side effects have been linked to the use of Bextra, including:

  • Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (skin reaction)
  • Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (skin reaction)
  • Erythema Multiforme (skin reaction)
  • Exfoliative Dermatitis (Erythroderma)
  • Gastrointestinal Disorders (ulcers and bleeding)
  • Heart Attack
  • Stroke
  • Severe Cardiac Problems

If you are currently taking, or have taken, the prescription pain reliever Bextra, you should immediately consult your physician. You may be at risk for serious medical complications including heart attack, stroke and fatal skin reactions such as Stevens Johnson Syndrome. Elderly patients taking Bextra are at an increased risk for dangerous side effects.
