Vioxx is a new drug that promises to effectively
reduce the pain and inflammation of some types of arthritis with potentially
fewer side effects. Vioxx is one of a new class of drugs known as COX-2
inhibitors. Medical researchers believe that these drugs offer a safer
alternative to the millions of people at risk for ulcers and other
gastrointestinal side effects from non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

| Who should not take Vioxx? | You should not take Vioxx if you have experienced asthma, hives, or allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). A few examples of other NSAIDs are ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac, nabumetone, and ketoprofen. | ||||||||||||||
| How should I take Vioxx? | Read
the patient information that comes with Vioxx before you start taking it
and every time you renew your prescription in case the information has
been updated.
You can take Vioxx with or without food. Your doctor will determine the dose you should take, depending on your condition and medical history. Avoid taking Vioxx with antacids that contain calcium carbonate and magnesium/aluminum combination products, because they may reduce the amount of Vioxx your body absorbs. Shake the liquid form of Vioxx before using. |

| General Precautions with Vioxx: | Do
not stop taking any medications that you have been prescribed without
first talking to your doctor.
Serious problems such as liver damage have occurred in people treated with NSAIDs. Some of the warning signs of liver damage can be nausea, vomiting, fatigue, loss of appetite, itching, yellow coloring of skin or eyes, "flu-like" symptoms and dark urine. If you experience any of these symptoms, call your health care provider right away. Vioxx can cause your body to retain fluid and swell. Your health care provider will decide if Vioxx is right for you, if you:
If you have asthma, you may have aspirin-sensitive asthma. If an aspirin-sensitive asthmatic takes aspirin it can cause severe narrowing of the airway (bronchospasm), and even death. Since this type of reaction to aspirin and other NSAIDs have occurred in aspirin-sensitive patients, Vioxx should not be given to aspirin-sensitive patients. The safety and effectiveness of Vioxx in patients below the age of 18 years has not been determined. |

| Special Warnings with Vioxx: |
Serious problems from stomach ulcers, such as bleeding, are well-known complications in people treated with NSAIDs. Similar problems have occurred in people treated with Vioxx, although very rarely. The likelihood of stomach problems increases the longer you take drugs like Vioxx. However, even short-term treatment is not without risk. These problems can happen without any warning, but in some people may cause symptoms such as gnawing or burning stomach pain, black or tarry stools, or vomiting. If this happens, stop taking Vioxx and call your health care provider right away.
