Rofecoxib has been shown to have greater penetration of the blood-brain barrier than any COX-2 selective NSAID currently available in the United States and has demonstrated efficacy in migraine, whether or not there has been a history of previous response to other NSAIDs. Rofecoxib has been shown to have no effect on bleeding time and is the only COX-2 selective NSAID ever approved in the United States to demonstrate a reduced risk of gastrointestinal bleeding compared to a traditional NSAID in a controlled trial. VIOXX was voluntarily taken off the market in 2004 due to cardiovascular safety concerns. It has since been shown in multiple studies, often independent of the industry, that cardiovascular safety is a dose and duration dependent risk of all NSAIDs.
