Not sure which website you are referring to, but Vioxx has their own

website, and it says:

" IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT VIOXX.

People with allergic reactions, such as asthma, to aspirin or other

arthritis medicines should not take VIOXX. In rare cases, serious stomach

problems, such as bleeding, can occur without warning. "

My surgeon received information from the manufacturer telling him that Vioxx

should not be given to any patients with any form of stomach surgery, and he

stopped me from continuing to use it pre-op and post-op. There is a good

deal of information at www.vioxx.com, including the prescription information

for doctors, which warns against using Vioxx in patients with

gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcers (which we can be prone to, and not know

we have.) http://www.vioxx.com/vioxx/shared/documents/english/pi.pdf
