I've been reading the articles on vioxx withdrawal and causes. They talk about heart attacks but dont provide specifics on what type of cardiac condition may possibly result from Vioxx. My wife has been on vioxx for years. In May, she suffered a heart attack which was described as arterial spasms, or prinzmetal angina. Does anyone know whether this is one of the possible cardiac side effects mentioned in the study?

Thanks in advance!

I was on vioxx for a few yrs as well and i did suffer a heart attack and angina. I then tried celebrex which caused stomach bleeding.

That's not good. Hmmm. My wife is talking to the doctor about an alternative. Stomach bleeding is not acceptable. Looks like we may just have to go with ibuprofin. Thanks!
