Evaluation of cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitor use in patients admitted to a large teaching hospital.
- Authors
Landsberg, P. G.; Pillans, P. I.; Radford, J. M.

Abstract Background: The heavy usage of coxibs in Australia far outstrips the predicted usage that was based on the treatment of patients with risk factors for upper gastrointestinal adverse events from conventional anti-inflammatory agents. This raises questions regarding the appropriateness of prescribing.
