Bextra was created in the late 1990s by the G.D Searle & Co.
division of Pfizer Pharmaceuticals for the handling of
arthritis, inflammation, and painful menstrual cramping without
the risk of severe stomach irritation. Clinical tests of
arthritis patients over six months showed the relative safety of
Bextra,
oakley sunglasses replica, and it was approved by the FDA on November 16, 2001.
Bextra became one of the best selling drugs on the market, with
sales in the tens of billions of dollars. Doctors were happy
with the low percentage of stomach irritation, and patients were
pleased with the boost in quality of life that these alleged
“wonder drugs” provided.
Then on October 15, 2004, the FDA warned of harmful
complications in patients who took Bextra directly after having
heart surgery. Later, in November of that year, the American
Heart Association released the results of its own clinical test,
showing that Bextra had heightened the risk of heart attack and
strokes. A prominent FDA reviewer proclaimed that Bextra was one
of five different drugs listed as “unsafe” to prescribe.
After careful studies of the risk of not only heart attack and
strokes, but also the frequency of potentially fatal allergic
skin reactions, the FDA re-evaluated the drug and on April 7,
2005, they asked Pfizer to remove Bextra from American and
European markets. Widespread prescriptions of Bextra had already
caused significant damage, and may victims of the drug’s side
effects continue to suffer from the terrible consequences.
