Links between EC & Vioxx?
Has anyone experienced a link or heard of a link between taking Vioxx and developing EC? My father was diagnosed last week with EC; my mom thinks all his symptoms began as soon as he started Vioxx. Any tips on where I could look for links between meds and EC would be appreciated as well. Thanks.
