JENKINTOWN PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS

Merck & Co. has agreed to pay $4.85 billion to settle thousands of cases brought by people who suffered heart attacks and strokes after taking Vioxx, its painkiller drug.

Vioxx was pulled from the market three years ago after serious concerns were raised regarding its safety. According to some reports, Vioxx was shown to double the risk of heart attacks and strokes in its users. Most patients took Vioxx for arthritis pain.
