M-A: Effectiveness and safety of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and opioid treatment for knee and hip osteoarthritis – although Etoricoxib 60 mg/day and diclofenac 150 mg/day seem to be most effective treatments, topical diclofenac 70-81 mg/day is safer and should be considered as first line treatment.

Etoricoxib 60 mg/day and diclofenac 150 mg/day seem to be the most effective oral NSAIDs for knee and hip osteoarthritis pain and physical function, but might not be appropriate in the presence of comorbidities or for long term use, concludes #BMJResearchhttps://t.co/rrtX3BnQE5
