AP Clarifies Vioxx Story

By Associated Press

March 25, 2002, 2:56 PM EST

CHICAGO -- In a March 24 story about meningitis being a rare potential side

effect of Vioxx, The Associated Press reported that the Food and Drug

Administration has required Merck to add the disease to the list of possible

side effects included on the painkiller's product label and package insert.

The story did not make clear that the information has already been included

on the product label and package insert for some time. Merck spokeswoman

Fanelle said the company made the change in 2000.
