Bextra Lawyer

Bextra is a cox-2 inhibitor drug that is used to treat osteoarthritis, menstrual pains and other adult pain. This drug was widely welcomed when it was first approved by the Food and Drugs Administration in November 2001, but just several years later the drug is at the heart of controversy and concern. This follows the recall of a very similar drug in the same group. Vioxx, another cox-2 inhibitor, was recalled from the US market in September 2004, and this was due to strong links with increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. Although Bextra also has some possible, serious side effects of its own, many are now concerned that, like Vioxx, it could also increase the risks of heart attacks and strokes.

A Bextra lawyer or attorney can help those affected by this drug to see compensation for harm or injury caused by taking the drug. The compensation claimed via the Bextra lawyer or attorney is to cover medical expenses incurred due to ill health caused by this drug, pain suffered by the patients, and both physical and mental suffering. There are a number of serious side effects that could be caused by Bextra, and many patients that have experienced these effects have already filed lawsuits against the manufacturer of the drug, Pfizer.
