Throughout the United States, Ceoxx is widely known as Vioxx, the COX-2 selective, non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). While many Americans have experienced adverse side effects resulting from Vioxx, people outside the United States are familiar with those side-effects through Ceoxx, the Vioxx brand name outside the U.S.

When Merck&Co, the home of Vioxx, announced a voluntary recall of the drugs (Vioxx and Ceoxx), research had already pointed into the right direction that the drug could be directly related to heart attacks and sudden cardic death. Generally, Ceoxx is prescribed to alleviate the painful signs and symptoms of arthritis, acute pain or painful menstrual cycles. As Ceoxx was originally approved by the Food and Drug Administration, later studies have proven that the risk of heart attacks and sudden cardic death was increased by more than 50 percent, especially for those with a history of cardiovascular and gastrointestinal problems, particularly if the drug is taken over a longer period of time.
