Good afternoon ladies, I have just heard a press release regarding Vioxx....it has been recalled. to quote CTV news:

"Pharmaceutical giant Merck & Co., is pulling the arthritis drug Vioxx from the shelves worldwide because of new data that suggests it raises the risk of heart attack and stroke.

"Patients who are currently taking Vioxx should contact their health care providers to discuss discontinuing use of Vioxx and possible alternative treatments," the company said in a news release."

I have been taking and I just wanted to let any of you that are taking it, aware of the situation. Sheesh, as if having this disease wasn't bad enough!! A good day to all, Lisa
