S.V.M. Expert panelists review the causes, diagnostic work-up, management, and emerging therapies inherent in the evolving paradigm of irritable bowel syndrome.Patients with diabetes have a higher pill burden than the general population, so pharmacists should pay particular attention to potential drug interactions with antidiabetic agents.Patients with diabetes have a higher pill burden than the general population, so pharmacists should pay particular attention to potential drug interactions with antidiabetic agents.

For example, the regulatory action was associated with a −0.42% significant immediate step reduction in diclofenac initiation in the Netherlands among the overall population compared to −1.3%, −1.8%, −2.0% and −1.9% among those with CHF, IHD, PAD and CVD, respectively.Limited impact of the EMA regulatory action has been noted in Lithuania, where diclofenac prescribing remained unchanged.Safety communications need to reach their target audience to be effective, therefore differences in the effectiveness of communication and dissemination strategies may impact on healthcare professional awareness.Our analysis is currently the largest study examining the impact of the 2013 EMA regulatory action on diclofenac initiation among patients with cardiovascular disease contraindications and cautions in Europe.This study has several limitations.



Diclofenac must not be taken in the third trimester because it may delay labour, increase the length of labour and cause complications in the newborn baby.

Diclofenac extended-release tablets are usually taken once a day, and in rare cases are taken twice a day, if needed to control pain. A patient was included in a time period if patients were observable for the entire quarter, ie, the first and last days of the quarter both lay between the patient's index date and their last follow‐up date.


If the reaction is very uncomfortable, check with your doctor.

The Netherlands had the highest prevalence of diclofenac prescribing.

Cohort entry was defined by the latest of the date of registration with the general practice (in CPRD and PHARMO data sources) or the date of first recorded prescription or any secondary care diagnosis (in Danish and Scottish data sources) plus 1 year and the date of first diagnosis of the condition of interest. and A.P.
