(PRWEB) October 15, 2004 -- The Law Offices of Bagolie Friedman has created the International Vioxx Practice Group in response to pharmaceutical giant Merck & Co.'s withdrawl of its blockbuster arthritis drug and painkiller, Vioxx. The drug was pulled off the shelves worldwide on September 30th after a recent study confirmed that Vioxx use raises the risk of heart attack, stroke and death.

Bagolie Friedman, a personal injury law firm with offices in Jersey City and Clifton New Jersey and Hollywood Florida, has begun to review and accept injury cases from surviving family members and individuals who have been injured by taking Vioxx. "Our Vioxx Practice Group is international in scope as the drug has been used by over two million people around the world as a treatment for osteoarthritis and pain", said Ricky Bagolie, founding partner of the firm. Vioxx, once hailed as a wonder drug, has been marketed in more than 80 countries; worldwide sales in 2003 alone were $2.5 billion. "We will be reviewing potential cases from the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom", said Bagolie.

Vioxx, a COX-2 inhibitor, also known as rofecoxib, is a dangerous drug that should have been pulled from the market sooner. "This is another example of big corporations putting profits before people" said Bagolie. What should you do? Stop taking Vioxx and consult your doctor.
