New Pain Guideline for Older Patients
JAMA, 07/01/09
Kuehn BM - Physicians treating patients aged 75 years or older for chronic pain should avoid using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

These drugs also may complicate the treatment of common conditions in this population, such as hypertension and congestive heart failure.
