E-drug: NSAIDS for dysmenorrhoea (cont'd)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a lot of good evidence that NSAIDs are not the same in
terms of effectiveness and in Oxford we have been running with a
league table of numbers needed to treat for quite a few years. Some
of this is on the Bandolier website at http://www.jr2.ox.ac.uk/
bandolier/booth/painpag/Acutrev/Analgesics/Leagtab.html (please
'repair' url!). There is a lot of other material based on Cochrane and
non Cochrane systematic reviews.
