Abstract
Safety studies have shown that risks associated with use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are related to dose and release form; however, there is little US evidence. This study assessed the relationships between diclofenac dose and release form on gastrointestinal (GI), cardiovascular (CV), and renal events using US health care claims.
