Medical Forum / General / General / May 2006Heart attack risk
Vioxx could cause a heart attack within the first two weeks of taking the drug. In a new study from Mcgill University, researchers found about a quarter of patients who took vioxx suffered a heart attack in an average of nine days after starting the drug. After the initial start period, the risk for heart attack seemed to level off, and then disappeared shortly after treatment ended. Researchers say this study shows the cardiovascular risks associated with vioxx may start earlier than they previously thought.
