By now, you have probably heard of the prescription drug Bextra. You may not know, however, why that a recall is in order. The reason is quite simple. The FDA has asked Pfizer to withdraw Bextra from the market because of increased risks of heart attack and stroke.
Bextra has been around for quite a few years. Approved by the Food and Drugs Administration in November 2001, Bextra has been used treat problems like oestoarthrits, menstrual cramps, and other adult pain without the serious side effects caused by other traditional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Bextra is manufactured by the pharmaceutical giant, Pfizer and has quickly gained popularity. Bextra is widely used. After its approval, Bextra was prescribed to millions of patients in the Unites States.
It is worth talking to a Lawyer? Absolutely. Most drugs litigation firms can offer a free initial consultation, which means that you can look into whether you have grounds to make a claim without having to pay anything. A Bextra lawyer can evaluate your case and offer advice on the potential success of any claims made, as well as which course of legal action to take to maximize on the chances of success.
