Welcome to the Vioxx forum within Legal Chat Online's defective drugs section. This entire Web site, and resulting online community, are the result of the decision by Steigerwalt & Associates, a long-standing litigation law firm with decades of collective experience in helping clients who have been injured as a result of defective prescription drugs, to build a location for the following reasons:
1. To provide a means by which to contact our firm to discuss your legal questions and/or problems;
2. To bring all of the news and developments regarding Vioxx to one location so that you don't have to search the Internet to remain current;
3. To answer your questions and to invite our visitors to take the opportunity to share their perspectives, opinions and experiences with Vioxx.
Vioxx, simply put, is one of the most notorious drugs to have hit the market in recent years. It is a member of the class of drugs known as NSAID's, which were designed to help treat pain and osteoarthritis.
However, Vioxx soon became the target of an incredible amount of scrutiny, as the side effects to which is was linked were extremely severe. A study was done, known as the "VIGOR" study, showed a serious risk of heart attacks in those who took Vioxx, and as a result of this study and other news and reports regarding Vioxx-related injuries, the drug was eventually pulled off the market.
Even though Vioxx is no longer available, for those who have taken it and suffered, the damage has been done. That also means that you still have rights to pursue, so contact our firm immediately to discuss your legal options.
