Isoxicam, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent, was introduced in 1983 for the treatment of rheumatic disorders. By 1985 its use had been associated with serious adverse effects, including four deaths from rare skin reactions. This led to its withdrawal in France followed immediately by the voluntary suspension of marketing worldwide by the major manufacturer.
