Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / October 2005Since Vioxx
Since Vioxx was taken off the market, have any previous Vioxx users, found effective relief with anything else, please? Vioxx is the only medication that gave me any semblance of relief. The irony is, that even if the manufacturers had been up front and told everyone about the increased heart attack risks, I would still have taken it. Ted F. Hi Ted, Celebrex is still available. There was a recent study that taking aspirin with the Cox-2 pain killers reduced the heart risk. But this ignored a 2 year old European study that said taking aspirin with Cox-2 damaged your stomach as much as if it was not Cox-2. Ray Don't know if it'll work for you, but Lodine is working for me when NONE of the other Cox 2 type drugs did. Good luck.

I just startd on plaquenil recently and I take that with Celebrex.. I found that the Celebrex kind of helped with some of the pain but always and still do have to take motrin or advil with them.... I like Bextra which was great but it went the same way as Vioxx....... Good luck to us all!!!! >hi...... I just startd on plaquenil recently and I take that with >Celebrex..

Thanks, it sounds like we have similar problems finding a single medication. I don't mind taking Paracetamol, which might be our equivalent of Advil, as long as it gives good relief with the prescription drug.

Is anyone else here using it with good effect? Surely something must have replaced Vioxx?
