Bextra was used to treat painful menstruation, osteoarthritis, inflammation and adult rheumatoid arthritis.  Also known as Valdecoxib, the Bextra brand name was manufactured and distributed by Pfizer.

Bextra was removed from the market in 2005 at the request of the FDA due to concerns that it was related to cardiovascular problems including stroke and heart attack.
