    Arthritis drug Vioxx withdrawn by Merck

    Source: USAToday.com

    Summary:

  • Vioxx is used by two million people around the world by arthritis patients. The drug is sold in some countries as Ceoxx.
  • According to Merck: "Patients who are currently taking Vioxx should contact their health care providers to discuss discontinuing use of Vioxx and possible alternative treatments".
  • Data comes from a three-year study showing the increased risk of heart attack and other cardiovascular complications which begin 18 months or so after patients start taking Vioxx.

    Conclusion:
    Natural alternatives like Glucosamine Sulfate, or Joint Complex Supplements that contain combinations of Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM and other natural ingredients may be the suggested alternative or best first choice for joint pain relief.
