Aside from increasing the risk of heart attacks and stroke, Bextra is responsible for a host of other potentially dangerous side effects. Bextra is a Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug, and these types of medications are well known to cause a variety of debilitating side effects including:
• headache
• abdominal pain
• diarrhea
• nausea
• flatulence
• insomnia
• fainting
• kidney failure
• heart failure
• fluid retention
• aggravation of hypertension
• chest pain
• ringing in the ears
• deafness
• stomach and intestinal ulcers
• bleeding
• blurred vision
• anxiety
• photosensitivity
• weight gain
• water retention
• flu-like symptoms
• drowsiness
• weakness
Most importantly, anyone taking Bextra who develops any kind of skin rash should discontinue it and consult a doctor immediately. If left untreated, this drug reaction could lead to the debilitating and potentially fatal conditions Stevens - Johnson Syndrome or Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis. It was the risk of these adverse drug reactions that led to the Food and Drug administration to request the removal of Bextra from American and European markets in April 2005.
