Vioxx recall process if you do not have side effects
Many of you have written to MYNIPPON asking about your options if you have taken Vioxx but have not seen any adverse side effects so far. So here is the appropriate process for those who have taken Vioxx (and have even seen good results) but are not aware of any ill effect on their health:
- If you have not already stopped taking Vioxx, please do so immediately. Consult your doctor immediately and follow the doctor's advice.
- Just because you have not seen any adverse side effects, it does not mean that you are OK. Only a thorough medical examination can reveal if you have already been harmed. Even if your medical examination does not reveal any actual harm, there is no guarantee that adverse side effects will not show up later.
- Do not consult with your doctor about your legal options. Not only is a doctor incapable of providing you legal advice, s/he may even discourage you (particularly if you do not have any adverse side effects) from seeking legal remedies. Why? Doctors are afraid that it will hurt their relationships with drug companies and healthcare providers if they are engaged in lawsuits or are providing assistance to patients. So use your doctor for medical advice and keep quiet about your legal options. Consult a Vioxx lawyer instead.
- Visit the Vioxx recall website frequently to keep up-to-date on Vioxx related developments.
