There's a wonderful drug, and a class of drugs actually, but the particular drug was Vioxx, and for people who were suffering from severe arthritis pain, the drug was an absolute lifesaver, but unfortunately, for another subset of those people, they suffered pretty severe heart side effects, and for a subset of those people, the side effects were so severe, the cardiac side effects, that they were fatal.
Había un fármaco maravilloso, una clase de fármacos en realidad, pero este fármaco en concreto era Vioxx y para la gente que padecía graves dolores de artritis, el fármaco fue una salvación, pero, desafortunadamente, otro subconjunto de esas personas sufrieron graves efectos secundarios cardíacos, y para otro subconjunto de esas personas, los efectos secundarios fueron tan graves, los efectos secundarios cardíacos, que fueron mortales.
