Vioxx (rofecoxib)
Rofecoxib belongs to the family of medications known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs work by blocking a response to injury in the body that leads to inflammation and pain. Rofecoxib is used for the treatment of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, for the relief of pain in adults, and for the treatment of painful menstruation. It helps with these conditions by relieving pain and reducing swelling and inflammation.
