Arthritis Drug Recall
Merck Drug Company Recalls Major Arthritis Drug. The arthritis drug, Vioxx, used by over two million people, is being pulled off the market after a study confirmed long-suspected concerns that it dramatically raises the risk of heart attack and stroke. According to Merck the company making the drug, “Patients who are currently taking Vioxx should contact their health care providers to discuss discontinuing the use of Vioxx as soon as possible.” The FDA is now monitoring other drugs in the same class such as Pfizer’s Celebrex to determine of they may be producing the same elevated risks. Worldwide sales of Vioxx totaled $2.25 Billion last year alone!!!
Please post this information and advise any of your members who may be taking this arthritis drug to see their doctor’s immediately!
This is just one more reason why we suggest that members get on our arthritis program, which includes Curves Integrated, Oxy Aloe, Essential Calcium and of course Full Spectrum Nutrition which would be either Complete or Phoenix’s Supreme.
