Once again, the Public Citizen Interest Group, Worst
Pills, was way ahead of the FDA in monitoring the
safety of another drug. Bextra has been on their "Do
Not Use" list since Jan. 2003.
In today's press release they said "While we are
pleased that the FDA has taken Bextra off the market,
it has recklessly allowed Celebrex to continue to be
sold. ...Neither Bextra nor Celebrex protects the
gastrointestinal tract as drugmakers claim. Given that
neither drug has any unique benefits but both carry
unique cardiac risks, it is unconscionable to leave
Celebrex on the market."
