About Vioxx
If osteoarthritis pain keeps you from the activities you enjoy most, there are things you can do about it. Managing pain isn’t about being able to climb mountains or running marathons. It’s about controlling the pain that keeps you from doing simple things, like taking a walk, gardening or playing with your children.
VIOXX can help you do the things you enjoy, with all-day, all-night relief. One little tablet, taken just once a day, can provide 24-hour relief from osteoarthritis pain. Isn't it time that you took control of your pain and stepped back into life?
How to use Vioxx
You should continue to take Vioxx as prescribed even when you are feeling better. Vioxx can be taken with or without food. Vioxx capsules come in 3 strengths: 12.5, 25, and 50 mg.
