Here are a couple of drugs manufactured by Merck that are now in question.

Fosamax: Fosamax is manufactured by Merck & Co. and was prescribed to increase bone density. Since 2001, more than 2,400 patients taking this type of medication have report cases of osteonecrosis (deterioration of the jaw bone causing severe infection, swelling and loss of teeth). If you or a family member have suffered an injury after using Fosamax you may call Arnold Pizzo McKiggan toll free at 1-877-423-2050 or click here here for a free consultation.

Vioxx: Vioxx is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) developed by Merck & Co. which was used to treat symptoms of osteoarthritis and chronic pain. Two prominent medical journals have published articles which link Vioxx use to a significantly heightened risk of heart attack and stroke. In September 2004, Merck recalled Vioxx following test results which indicated that Vioxx users were twice as likely to suffer heart attacks or strokes as compared to patients receiving a placebo. If you or a member of your family has suffered an injury which you believe is related to Vioxx use, you may call Arnold Pizzo McKiggan toll free at 1-877-423-2050 or click here here for a free consultation.
