    • Analgesic use in a Norwegian general population: Change over time and high-risk use - The Tromsø Study 

      Samuelsen, Per-Jostein; Slørdal, Lars; Mathisen, Ulla Dorte; Eggen, Anne Elise (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2015-06-06)
      Background: Increased use of analgesics in the population is a cause for concern in terms of drug safety. There is a paucity of population-based studies monitoring the change in use over time of both non-prescription (OTC) analgesics and prescription (Rx) analgesics. Although much is known about the risks associated with analgesic use, we are lacking knowledge on high-risk use at a population level. ...
