Nobody except Merck and their representatives will know why the website was taken down, but it's definitely suspicious. If they are preparing to defend themselves in court, then you'd think they'd be supporting the product in every way possible.

Moves such as this suggest guilt or an attempt to reduce liability.

I think whatever they had on the website - including the claims of low risks and underestemated side effects - it all can be used as evidence in the court of law. They're trying to reduce responsibility.. but I don't think pulling down the website will help them much..

Also, I strongly believe their website must have been flooded with complaints of damaged people - also something they couldn't hide or deal with.
