Guidelines for the Management of Heavy Menstrual Bleeding
On September 30, 2004, Vioxx (rofecoxib) was withdrawn from the U.S. and worldwide market due to safety concerns of an increased risk of cardiovascular events. See the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Web site for more information. Subsequently, on December 23, 2004, the FDA issued a public health advisory concerning the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug products (NSAIDs) including the COX-2 selective agents Celebrex (celecoxib), Bextra (valdecoxib) and a non-selective NSAID, naproxen (sold as Aleve, Naprosyn and other trade name and generic products). See the FDA web site for more information .
