Bextra Safety/Side Effects Study


In November 10, 2004, a study reported in the New York Times indicated an increased risk of heart attack and stroke associated with the drug Bextra.

The study, conducted by Garret FitzGerald, MD, PharmD, of the University of Pennsylvania, looked at data of Bextra use in more than 2,000 heart bypass surgery patients and nearly 5,700 arthritis patients. The study concluded that risk of heart attacks and strokes was more than twice as high for those taking Bextra.

Initially, Pfizer disputed the findings. Ultimately, however, the FDA requested that Pfizer remove Bextra from the market and Pfizer complied.
