MUHC study reveals Vioxx related heart attacks can occur within the first two weeks of use

risk of heart attacks and strokes after 18 months of use. This MUHC study is the first to specifically address the question of the timing of cardiovascular risk associated with COX-2 inhibitors.

"This study adds important new information on how the COX-2 inhibitors like Vioxx affect the heart," said Dr. Peter Liu, Scientific Director of the CIHR Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory Health. "Physicians must carefully assess the risk versus benefit, and help the patient to watch for any new symptoms during the start of these medications. We are delighted that this research from the McGill University Health Centre can help us further to better the health of Canadians."
