By now you have probably heard about a little drug known as BEXTRA. Just in case you have been out of the loop, it is a medicine that treats the pain and inflammation of arthritis. On April 7, the Food and Drug Administration requested that Pfizer suspend sales of BEXTRA in the United States in light of the FDA's position that there is an increased cardiovascular risk for all prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory arthritis medicines, as well as the increased rate of rare, serious skin reactions.
The Bad news.
The bad news is this. If you have been taking Bextra, you have been unknowingly increasing your risk of having cardiovascular complications.
The Good News.
The good news is, not only can you get a refund, in most cases, from your local pharmacy, but you may also have a strong case if you decide to contact a lawyer that specializes in Dangerous Drugs.
If you have taken any kind of dangourous drug, you should never feel guilty about finding out more about your legal options. Research not only the medicine in question, but also alternative medicines so you don’t end up in a similar situation. When you feel comfortable talking about the situation, find a Lawyer specialized in the drug in question. Which in this case would be a Bextra Lawyer.
