Guest guest Report post Posted September 2, 2004 Just wanted to let everyone know that I spoke to my cardiologist's office today. I go there due to a problem with high lipids and do not have heart problems. They told me to quit the Vioxx and he called in a prescription to the pharmacy for Bextra. I think I tried it once and it was not as good as the Vioxx but I will try again. I also put in a call to my rhuemy and I am waiting to hear from him as well. I would like several opinions but right now I don't think I am going to take the Vioxx. Janet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted September 2, 2004 Well, the cardiologist said to stop the vioxx and now when I got home there was a message on my answering machine from my rheumy that he didn't think I should be concerned about the Vioxx but next time I see him he would discuss taking a baby aspirin every day. I don't think any of them know what they are talking about. I think I am going to try Bextra but if it does not help like the Vioxx then I will take the Vioxx several times a week but maybe not every day.
