Vioxx In Canada?

Those Canadians are always a step ahead.

In a bizarre development, a panel of Canadian expert is recommending that Vioxx, the drug that is estimated to have killed as many as 50,000 Americans and caused 140,000 injuries in the US, be allowed back on the market. Merck voluntarily recalled the drug in September last year after a study showed that it increased the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Since then, Merck is being sued by tens of thousands of Vioxx victims and States of Texas and New York have filed lawsuits for fraud.
