VIOXX being discontinued?

2 nights ago I saw on CNN that Vioxx was being taken off the market by the manufacturer due to too many adverse side effects.

Yes, that is true. It is said it May increase the chance of Heart Attack. My husband has been taking 200mg. a day, but for only 2 months, so I Hope it hasn't done any damage to him.
