2. IT DOES NOT COST YOU ANY MONEY IN ADVANCE TO GET A LAWYER IN A DANGEROUS
DRUG CASE.
At Brown & Crouppen our policy in dangerous drug injury cases, as well as our
other injury cases, is that we never charge you any “in advance” legal fee. The
only way you ever pay any legal fees or expenses is at the conclusion of your
case and then only out of the money we were able to recover. If we are
unsuccessful and no money is collected then any costs we incurred is our expense
and of course you owe us nothing for our time.
We believe we should make money
only after we make you money. That’s why it doesn’t cost you any money in
advance to get a lawyer for your Vioxx injury case.

3. YOU DON’T HAVE FOREVER TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR DANGEROUS DRUG CASE.
 Unfortunately, this is the truth. There are definite time limits in taking care
of your case. These time limits are called statutes of limitations and if you
wait past the time set out in the statute your case is over, forever, regardless
if you have gotten any money or not. Don’t let this happen to you, if you have a
dangerous drug case don’t wait until it’s too late, call Brown and Crouppen now.

Vioxx: Things You Should Know
 Since its
introduction, more than 91 million prescriptions for Vioxx have been written in
the United States alone.
Merck reported
worldwide sales of Vioxx reached $661 million for the first quarter of 2004, an
increase of 30 percent from the comparable prior year period.
In 2000, while
studying Vioxx's gastrointestinal effect, Merck researchers noted the patients
taking Vioxx had a greater number of heart attacks than those taking naproxen,
another NSAID.
In September 2001,
the FDA issued a warning to Merck for misrepresenting the safety of Vioxx by
downplaying the cardiovascular risks associated with the drug's use. The
following year, new safety information was added to Vioxx labeling.
A Canadian study
from May 2004 investigated the safety of COX-2 inhibitors. Patients in the study
using Vioxx had an 80 percent increased risk of hospital admission for
congestive heart failure compared to those taking Celebrex.
Most patients using
Vioxx take daily doses of 12.5 or 25 mg for arthritis. A 50 mg dose has been
approved by the FDA for the treatment of pain, but not for more than five days.
