Bextra and
Strokes: Bextra Heart Attack & Danger Information
 FREE Case Review
|
| Just like a heart attack, a stroke or “cerebro-vascular accident” results from a blockage in the bloodstream to a vital part of the body, in this case the brain and head. Indeed, very often a stroke is called a “brain attack,” but this term is not particularly accurate. Sometimes the brain is starved of the life-giving oxygen the blood supplies, which can result in paralysis or even death. When a blockage in a crucial blood vessel such as the carotid artery or jugular vein causes a backflow of blood, this overpressure combined with delicate intracerebral vascular tissues can cause a hemorrhage, which can be instantly fatal.
COX-2 Inhibitors like Bextra potentially cause strokes because they inhibit certain internal chemicals called prostaglandins, which our kidneys use to regulate the flow of blood during their filtration process, which in turn increases blood pressure. This elevated blood pressure often takes Bextra users by surprise and without careful monitoring by doctors can result in a number of dangerous or fatal conditions, including strokes.
If you or a loved one has suffered a stroke caused by Bextra, then you have a right to seek compensation for your suffering. Contact a lawyer without delay, for the law in your state limits the amount of time you have to press your case. Don’t end your case before it can begin. Consult a lawyer today.
