Stepped Care Approach To Pharmacologic Therapy for Musculoskeletal Symptoms with Known Cardiovascular Disease or Risk Factors for Ischemic Heart Disease • Acetaminophen, ASA, tramadol, narcotic analgesics (short term) • Nonacetylated salicylates • Non COX-2 selective NSAIDs Select patients at low riskof thrombotic events • NSAIDs with some COX-2 activity • Regular monitoring for sustained hypertension or worsening of prior blood pressure control), edema, worsening renal function, or gastrointestinal bleeding. • If these events occur, consider reduction of the dose or discontinuation of the offending drug, a different drug, or alternative therapeutic modalities, as dictated by clinical circumstances. Prescribe lowest doserequired to control symptoms • COX-2 Selective NSAIDs Add ASA 81 mg and PPI to patients at increased risk of thrombotic events * * Addition of ASA may not be sufficient protection against thrombotic events Antman EM, et al.
