vioxx swimmer message: "I survived VIOXX"

Eventually is was proven Vioxx had nothing to do with those heart problems, was not the causative agent, nor did it cause any other problems. Too late for the drug company, too late for the comsumer. Now we have more expensive newer drugs. Lots of litigation problems with drugs are caused more by money necessity than damage per se. Silicone implants are now back, but millions made millions from Dow Corning...in settlements. So now we have the more expensive Arcoxia for more painfull ailments, and our time proven Ibuprofen (no one is suing those guys, not enough money there) for our lesser inflamations. Funny no one complains about aspirin, by far the NSAID with more side effects...billy fanstone I hear much more about aspirin being used as a blood thinner these days than anything else. As for Vioxx, I thought it was the Cox2 inhibitor portion of the chemical that was causing problems in some patients.
