Vioxx and Liver Problems
Vioxx has been linked to several cases of liver damage and liver failure.
Symptoms of liver problems may include:
A person with liver failure usually also has jaundice, a tendency to bruise or bleed, ascites, liver encephalopathy, and generally failing health. In acute liver failure, a person may go from being healthy to near death within a few days. In chronic liver failure, the deterioration in health may be very gradual until a dramatic event, such as bleeding varices (large, tortuous veins), occurs. Liver failure can be fatal if left untreated.
If you develop these symptoms after taking Vioxx, call your doctor immediately. Don't take the drug at all if you have a history of liver disease.
