Committee Recommendations
A stepped approach to pain management is recommended. Paracetamol is considered a 1st line option for the treatment of pain. Consider initiation of oral NSAID (ibuprofen or naproxen) as an adjunct to paracetamol if required. Diclofenac or celecoxib (first line COX 2) may be considered as alternatives when ibuprofen and naproxen are ineffective / not tolerated. See the guidelines attached for further information
PLEASE NOTE: Diclofenac with misoprostil is considered BLACK on the traffic light system and is not recommended for use in any healthcare setting across the Surrey & North West Sussex health economy.
