Co-marketed by Pharmacia, Celebrex was celebrated
as the super aspirin, and used to treat those who suffered the aches
and pains of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, since it was
released in December of 1998. Amazingly, this COX-2
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug reached an incredible $1
billion dollars in sales during its first year of marketing, proving
that it was not only a super aspirin, but it was also a super
money-maker for its manufacturers.
Competing with Mercks super drug, Vioxx, the two
manufacturers fought to have label warnings removed from their
product in order to beat out the competition. This competition
between the two companies was so intense that it is now earning the
manufacturers criticism for possibly having sacrificed patient
safety, in order to earn the extra bucks. On April 6th, 2000,
the FDA issued a letter to Pharmacia, demanding that they make
changes in their products label, stating that your representatives
continue to engage in violative promotional practices. It
wouldnt be long before Celebrex and its competitor, Vioxx, would be
linked to an increased risk of blood clots, heart attacks, sudden
deaths and strokes.
