Vioxx has been removed from the market in all countries because it has been associated with heart attacks, stroke, cardiovascular injuries and other serious side effects. According to Merck, about 2 million people worldwide are currently taking Vioxx, and a total of 105 million people have taken it since it came on the market in 1999. Vioxx safety concerns include the increased incidence of blood clots tied to strokes and heart attacks found in multiple Vioxx clinical studies. Other serious side effects associated with Vioxx usage include:

• Serious stomach problems, such as stomach and intestinal bleeding
