Abstract
Treatment of pain in rheumatoid arthritis must take into account the gastrointestinal and cardiovascular risk of individual patients. Adequate results are not yet available, and until they are, treatment recommendations must take into account, not only the more favourable gastrointestinal risk profile of selective COX-2 inhibitors, but also the potential atherothrombotic risk of any NSAID or selective COX-2 inhibitor treatment.Entities:
