Question:
VIOXX, Celebrex arthritis drugs are in demand by people who are willing to risk the side effects. Would you?
The super arthritis miracle drugs, Vioxx and Celebrex have been the target of liablity lawyers and Vioxx removed voluntarily by Merck. Many people are petitioning for the return saying they will monitor the risks to their hearts in exchange for being able to walk and move about pain free. Would you?
Answers:
My son has a very rare abdominal sarcoma with very few treatment options. Vioxx was actually one of the drugs being used by patients with his disease with some amount of success. It's withdrawal as an option for these patients was devastating. Only one patient whose mother is an oncology nurse was able to gather enough Vioxx to continue treating her son. He is cancer free . . not necessarily totally from taking Vioxx . . but it does seem to have kept the sarcoma from developing. At the moment we have about four patients using Celebrex as a 'maintenance drug ' . . and so far, so good . .they are doing well.
I wish people who did not understand because they don't have cancer or a child with cancer . . or they have political agendas or motivation would stay out of all this.
We feel that vioxx should remain an option for those who have few options to begin with.
