Although the reason Vioxx caused heart problems is not certain, researchers believe its selective action on the COX-2 enzyme, but not the COX-1, throws the prostanoids involved in clotting out of balance. The result is a tendency for blood to clot -- and clots are the first step of heart attacks and most strokes. If that theory is correct, it means that Vioxx's cleverness was also its Achilles' heel. How would Vioxx be any different then Celebrex. Since they're both COX-2 drugs, is it possible Celebrex might also be pulled off the market sometime in the future?
