Curt Furberg, a drug safety expert ,says his invitation to participate in a meeting on the risks of arthritis drugs like Vioxx and Bextra has been rescinded by government officials because he publicly expressed concerns about the medications.
Curt Furberg, a member of the FDA's drug safety advisory committee presented study data during a meeting of the American Heart Association last week. During the meeting, Furberg said a study showed people who took Bexta, a drug similar to Vioxx, had twice the risk of having a heart attack or stroke compared to those who didn't take it. |
