Bextra (valdecoxib) was a popular pain reliever used to treat arthritis in adults and was manufactured by G.D. Searle & Company.
On April 27, 2005, Bextra was pulled from the market after the FDA determined it posed too high a health risk. Bextra was recalled after it was linked to dangerous side effects such as heart attacks, strokes, and Stevens Johnson Syndrome (a severe and potentially life threatining condition of the skin and mucous membranes).
If you or a loved one have taken Bextra and suffered a heart attack or a stroke, or if you developed a severe skin reaction, such as Stevens Johnson Syndrome, contact Vaughan Cascino Law Offices, Ltd. for a free confidential consultation.
