It has also been linked to strokes, heart attacks, blood clots and Stevens Johnson Syndrome. Pfizer, the manufacturer of Bextra, has only issued a warning for Bextra patients who are undergoing heart bypass surgery.

In this syndrome, a person has blistering of mucous membranes, typically in the mouth, eyes, and vagina and patchy areas of rash.
