Robert Ernst died in his sleep after taking Vioxx for eight months to ease pain in his hands.Merck has relied heavily on Ernst 's autopsy , which says the man died of an irregular heartbeat secondary to clogged arteries , and no studies link Vioxx to those conditions . Such testing led to Merck 's decision to pull Vioxx from the market last year when a study showed the drug could double risk of heart attack or stroke if taken for 18 months or longer.Reicin testified in a lawsuit over the death of Robert Ernst , a 59-year-old Texas man who died in his sleep after taking the once-popular painkiller for eight months to ease aches in his hands . " It 's hopeless at this point , " juror Daniel Reierson said to Judge Patricia Collins.As his fellow jurors nodded along , Reierson told the judge they were at " an impasse .

The jurors voted 8-1 that Merck properly warned doctors about risks with Vioxx and voted unanimously on three counts that Merck did not mislead doctors about the drug 's safety.Humeston 's lawyers painted a picture of the two-time Purple Heart winner as a victim of a greedy drug company that put profits before patients , rushing Vioxx to market in an unsuccessful bid to beat rival Celebrex onto drugstore shelves.About 20 million Americans took Vioxx after it hit the market in 1999 , embracing it for its effectiveness in relieving pain while sparing them the upset stomachs , ulcers and other gastric problems associated with some other analgesics.At its peak , Vioxx was a $ 2.5 billion-a-year blockbuster.It worked for Humeston , alleviating pain in his left knee , which sustained shrapnel injuries during his U.S. Marine Corps service in Vietnam .
