Captain Jack- Most of the ads we see on TV go to great lengths to warn for this or that. Its really quite boring. Even we they say if you have an erection for MORE than four hours seek immediate medical attention. Why can't Merck just relabel VIOXX warning... saying that it might cause a heart attack iif taken in large doses over an 18 month period. Every medicine has side effects. Aspirin kills more users (by thousands) than VIOXX. My own opinion is that this cause celeb is the MSM trying to do damage to the pharmaceutical industry. Merck caved in too soon. Celebrex may not work for you but they aren't going to cave. Net net.... one should be able to buy and use VIOXX if promising not to sue. RB
