This week Therapeutics initative podcast deals with NSAIDS:
NSAIDS: Considering the Risks and Benefits (Therapeutics Initiative Podcast – December 10th)
In our 33rd episode we follow-up our discussion of osteoarthritis by examining the risks and benefits of oral anti-inflammatories including Cox-2 inhibitors. We review the effects on pain relief and the theory of anti-inflammation. We discuss the possible gastrointestinal effects and possible approaches to reduce the risk. We consider the cardiovascular risks and debate the choices in prescribing. We finish by struggling to get in the last word.
