what was a bad decision made by Merck & co.?

It seems they might have rushed Vioxx out onto the market. Even though they claim it doesn't increase the chances of heart attacks, many people who had heart attacks or strokes were taking Vioxx and other types of pain killers like Vioxx.

Good luck getting a pharmaceutical company to do anything close to charitable! They are in business for the PROFITS!

It is one of the times that a referee makes the difference in the game, this time it was the wrong decision. And the sad part is that it was not a mistake, because the officals discussed it. \nI have seen bad decisions, because an official was not in the right place or just missed the call. This was different, this was a decision by committee (I assume).

There is always a period of time that you can change your mind, known as buyer's remorse, this time period differ's from state to state.  If you feel that you were mislead or otherwise treated unfairly you can take the situation to your states Attorney Generals Office.  For most things that are shipped COD I can not imagine a company going to any great distances to reap a sale should you refuse the shipment.

It is a MLM company and also a pyramid scheme. There were some negative report about its ingredients. My friend started having health problems after taking their products. However, you need to do more research to tell. Because I am in the MLM business as well, I don't mean to discredit other companies in the industry. Before I take a supplement for a long time and in considerable dosage, I pay the lab for a report.

Hi, I am a pharmacist from India and currently living and working in Canada. I am working as pharmacy technician in canada. Vioxx is a medicine which was recalled by merk almost a year ago because of it's side effects. There is no way you can buy vioxx but if you want you can buy from a pharmacy in India but it would say a different brand name manufactured by different company and not merk. If you need assistance let me know.

Yes.  The VA didn't ship my medicine in a package too large.  It was just the right size.  If it had been too small it may have been lost.  It was too was large it may have caused undue hardship on the receivers at FedEx.  But I was not pleased at all with the service I received from FedEx.  I mean, if you just don't feel like handling a package, or that particular package isn't doing it for you, just say so.  No need to lie about it.

That thought has crossed my mind before too.\n\nI don't know but I think anything like that is possible when it comes to a company that makes such huge profits based on ppl dieing or being sick.

When I was taking the B complex shot I found out I was pregnant and had to stop immediatley.  I was taking it for weight loss. I don't know if there are other reasons you could take it for.

Because the Medication may very well have a Depressant Effect Similar to Alcohol. Also, if the Medication in Question was Consumed Prior to Operation of Heavy Machinery, and an Accident were to Occur, with No Warning Stated on the Label, a Lawsuit against the Meds.Maker may Very Well Happen . The Lawyers are Out There!

Sorry, folks, but this time it was NOT MJ! Supposedly, it was banned ingredient from an Urbal Tea. He should have asked his trainer or those familiar with acceptable substances, since he'd already tested postive numerous times. Too bad, because he now needs the money!

I think wasted medication is a tragedy, but given the risks of taking medication back it's necessary that drug stores/health services do not take back part used medication. This is for several reasons:\n\n- The quality of the drug cannot be assured (it could be counterfeit, contaminated, or stored in less than ideal conditions)\n- The expiry date of the medication cannot be assured\n\nThis means that there is a responsibility on people not to request medication they do not need, and to actually follow guidelines given on medication whereby the course should be completed, in the case of most antibiotics.\n\nCommon over the counter drugs like painkillers and the like generally last for a while, so theoretically they should always be fully used before they expire.

I read this somewhere in a gossip mag, but can't remember which one. It was in January. I remember, because I was on my way to California and picked it up at the airport. May still have the mag at home. I'll try to find it. I remember reading how unhealthy it was though! Dangerous. I think what you are talking about though is something like Clenbuterol.

Common sense should have told those executives at FOX that people would not go for that. They were thinking about making money and not about the impact of the process.  That Simpson should have been convicted and sentenced to death for killing Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman. The whole thing is a travesty of justice just like with Robert Blake and the Bonnie Bakely murder.
