E-drug: NSAID use  
---------------------------------------------  
Dear friends  
As independent drug information centre, Projekt Farmaka, we are  
involved in a federal campaign on the rational use of NSAID. As there  
is a press conference next week for the start of this campaign, some  
figures will be presented on national patterns of NSAID use and  
frequency of side-effects, especially in aged people.  
We are looking for some comparative data in other European countries.  
Is some-one aware of recent publications in this countries on NSAID  
use in general or on specific NSAIDs, expressed in number of  
packages/year or in DDD, in the general population or in the elderly?  
Thanks very much for this help.
