Bextra is a cox-2 inhibitor drug that is used to treat osteoarthritis, menstrual pains and other adult pain. This drug was widely welcomed when it was first approved by the Food and Drugs Administration in November 2001, but just several years later the drug is at the heart of controversy and concern. This follows the recall of a very similar drug in the same group. Vioxx, another cox-2 inhibitor, was recalled from the US market in September 2004, and this was due to strong links with increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. Although Bextra also has some possible, serious side effects of its own, many are now concerned that, like Vioxx, it could also increase the risks of heart attacks and strokes.

A Bextra lawyer or attorney can help those affected by this drug to see compensation for harm or injury caused by taking the drug. The compensation claimed via the Bextra lawyer or attorney is to cover medical expenses incurred due to ill health caused by this drug, pain suffered by the patients, and both physical and mental suffering. There are a number of serious side effects that could be caused by Bextra, and many patients that have experienced these effects have already filed lawsuits against the manufacturer of the drug, Pfizer.

One serious and potentially lethal side effect that can come from using Bextra is Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, a serious and potentially deadly skin disease. With this skin disease the skin and mucous membranes become severely inflamed causing pain, suffering and danger. Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis is another skin-related potential side effect that could affect Bextra patients, where the skin reddens and peel off. Both of these skin diseases are reported to be rare, but Pfizer are only just in the process of discussing a black box warning label with the FDA to warn users about these potential issues before they take the medication.

Allergic reactions and anaphylactic shock are additional and potentially serious side effects that Bextra patients could find themselves suffering, and again, these issues could prove deadly. A Bextra lawyer or attorney is there to help those that have suffered the serious side effects of Bextra and have experienced harm or injury through taking this medication. As an experienced and fully trained legal professional a Bextra lawyer or attorney can better the chances of a successful claim against Pfizer for those that feel they are entitled to compensation.

Other side effects to look out for if you have taken or are still taking Bextra include:

• Indigestion and abdominal pains
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Headaches
• Discolored or bloody stools
• Weight gain
• Jaundice
• Flu-type symptoms
• Bruising or bleeding
• Water retention.

If you feel that you have been adversely affected by Bextra, you should contact a Bextra lawyer or attorney as soon as possible. You can get a free initial consultation with most drugs litigation firms, so you can discuss the details of your case with a Bextra lawyer or attorney at no charge. The lawyer will be able to advise you at your first meeting as to whether you have grounds for a claim, depending on your circumstances, and if you do have a case the Bextra lawyer or attorney will put together a solid case.
