Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a common problem in general practice and a major indication for NSAIDs. Many patients with osteoarthritis are elderly and therefore particularly at risk from adverse reactions. Co-morbidity and co-prescription may lead to drug interactions. For these reasons, safe NSAIDs are the first choice for this disease.
