Last year my husband was prescribed vioxx. He had shoulder pain and shortly thereafter had to have six pints of blood pumped back into him, after a stomach ulcer bled so bad. He was told to never ever, take vioxx again! That was almost all blood in his body I have to say I am glad this drug is finally off the market. It is sad that people had to die though before they acted. Any way I would like to know if anyone took napersin. What are experiences with this drug?

I used to take aspirin powders and Motrin after I injured my back 10 years ago. I started getting bad ulcers and bleeding and the doctor I was seeing at the time put me on napersin. I wound up in the hospital about a week later throwing up pure blood and a triage doctors asked if I was taking any medications and allergic to any medications. I said I couldn't take Motrin or aspirin, but truth was I was taking napersin. I didn't know anything about Vioxx when I took it I only took it a few times, and then called my doctor to tell him I can't take that stuff. Now I ask the pharmacist to give me a computer print out on any new meds I take.
