BextraŽ - Contact an Attorney to File a Lawsuit

In April of 2005, Pfizer Inc., the manufacturer of Bextra® was asked by the FDA to withdraw the popular painkiller from the market. The drug recall was the result of the increased risk of cardiovascular problems and dangerous skin reactions linked to the medication. Bextra® is a powerful non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), intended to treat the symptoms of arthritis, such as inflammation and chronic pain, as well as painful menstrual cramps. Like Vioxx®, the drug is classified as a COX-2 inhibitor, meaning that it is designed to prevent stomach bleeding, ulcers, and irritation. But as evidence has shown, the drug is not without its problems. If you have been harmed by this drug, see a medical professional or contact a Bextra® attorney for information on how to file a Bextra® lawsuit.

Many Bextra® users have complained of indigestion, stomach pain, headache, upper respiratory infection, nausea, diarrhea, and sinus inflammation, while others have reported allergic reactions - signaled by facial swelling and breathing problems - to the drug. Still other Bextra® users have suffered stomach ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding, of which stomach burning, tarry stools, and bloody vomit are symptoms.

If you or a loved one has been harmed by Bextra®, speak with a Bextra® attorney as soon as possible and consider filing a Bextra® lawsuit. You may be eligible for compensation.
