The arthritis drug Bextra may increase heart attacks and strokes among patients according to a preliminary study presented on November 9, 2004. Bextra is also being linked to Stevens Johnson Syndrome. Stevens Johnson Syndrom is a rare inflammatory skin disorder that can be life-threatening, in fact up to 27 percent of those affected by Stevens Johnson Syndrome or related illnesses incur long-term eye damage or vision loss. Unfortunately, up to 15 percent of patients with this syndrome die from the condition. If you'd like more information regarding Bextra please see the following Bextra links:

The FDA announced on November 15, 2002, that it had received about 20 reports of serious reactions, including skin diseases (Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, exfoliative dermatitis, and erythema mutliforme) and hypersensitivity reactions (anaphylactic reactions and angioedema). Pharmacia had issued a "Dear Healthcare Professional" letter two days earlier. Previously, on October 22, the European Medicines Evaluation Agency (the European counterpart to the FDA) issued a public statement warning of the same side effects due to taking Bextra. Unfortunately, all this came too late for Bextra patients who have been suffering from the serious and potentially fatal drug allergic reactions like Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and erythema multiforme (EM).
