Background
There is little evidence analgesics improve pain in inflammatory arthritis (IA), and substantial evidence they have significant harms. Excepting NSAIDs in ankylosing spondylitis (AS), their long-term use is not recommended in guidelines.... Read More about P197 Analgesic prescribing in patients with inflammatory arthritis in the NHS.
