Bextra

A Bextra injury may be debilitating

Bextra is a Cox 2 inhibitor designed to relieve pain and treat osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis as well as other conditions. Bextra, however, is linked to cardiovascular problems and Stevens Johnson Syndrome (a potentially fatal skin reaction). The drug maker G.D. Searle & Co. marketed the drug before the company was acquired by Pfizer, which marketed Bextra worldwide before it was withdrawn in 2005.

• Skin rash
• Mucosal lesions
• Other signs of hypersensitivity
