Many recent Vioxx lawsuits raise questions as to when Merck was first made aware that fatal side effects were associated with Vioxx, and whether the company failed to inform public health authorities of these side effects, in a timely manner. Additionally, Merck extensively marketed Vioxx as highly safe and effective, while minimizing its risks compared to other drugs on the market.

The Food and Drug Administration ordered Merck & Co. to cease promotions aimed at getting doctors to prescribe its arthritis painkiller Vioxx, saying they minimized potential safety risks.

If you or a loved one have taken Vioxx and experienced any of the following side effects, you may be entitled to substantial monetary compensation.

In seeking legal action against a drug manufacturer for injuries caused by pharmaceuticals, the usual theories of products liability (strict liability, negligence, breach of warranty) are applicable. If the physician's conduct is to blame, a negligence suit in medical malpractice might be justified.
