Bexta is an anti-inflammatory drug in a class of
drugs known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID's).
Bextra reduces inflammation, fever and pain by
reducing substances in the body that cause these
symptoms.
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.
