Vioxx
A drug called Vioxx is used to treat arthritis, but side effects show huge risks foar strokes and heart attacks. With this being the case, the drug was pulled from the market. A good point made in the article was that "the deciding factor is in determining whether a drug's benefits outweigh its undesirable effects. Studies show that these bad side effects don't begin to show up until about 18 months after the therapy begins. Celebrex seems to be the good treatment on the market right now for arthritis. Docotors also recommend that just ibprofen can help pain just as well too!
