Vioxx Side Effects
Serious but rare side effects that have been reported in patients taking Vioxx and/or related medicines
have included:
- Serious allergic reactions including swelling of the face, lips, tongue, and/or throat which
may cause difficulty breathing or swallowing, hives, wheezing, or shock (loss of blood pressure
and consciousness) can occur. These may require treatment right away. Severe skin reactions
have also been reported.
- Serious stomach problems, such as stomach and intestinal bleeding, can occur with or without
warning symptoms. These problems, if severe, could lead to hospitalization or death. Although
this happens rarely, you should watch for signs (for instance, stomach burning, vomiting blood,
or if there is blood in your bowel movement or it is black and sticky like tar) that you may
have this serious side effect and tell your doctor right away.
- Heart attacks and other serious events, such as blood clots in your body, have been reported in
patients taking Vioxx.
- Serious kidney problems can occur, including acute (sudden) kidney failure and worsening of
chronic kidney failure.
- Severe liver problems, including hepatitis, jaundice and liver failure, can occur in patients
taking NSAIDs, including Vioxx. Tell your doctor if you develop symptoms of liver problems.
These include nausea, tiredness, itching, pain in the right upper abdomen, yellow skin or eyes,
and flu-like symptoms.
