Britons are excluded from US Vioxx painkiller drug compensation

Britons excluded from US drug compensation

Extract from Guardian:

"Merck, the US pharmaceutical giant, is to continue battling with hundreds of British claimants over its failed arthritis painkiller, Vioxx, in spite of agreeing yesterday to a settlement with US residents.

Merck agreed a $4.85bn (£2.42 bn) settlement, one of the biggest in history, with US claimants who blamed the drug for heart attacks and other side-effects.

But the company said this would not apply to British lawsuits or others round the world suing for compensation."

Painkillers for arthritis have caused severe adverse side-effects for many people over the years. - If you want to lessen the pain of osteoarthritis without the use of prescribed drugs, try the completely safe way of avoiding eating salt/sodium and salty food. - See Sodium in foods and
