More on Paracetamol for osteoarthritis

News out today is that more research has confirmed that paracetamol is effective and safer than anti-inflammatories for the treatment of osteoarthritis. Associate Professor Michael Yelland from Griffith University is presenting the research at a conference today according to the ABC report. Apparently they are recommending that the PBS subsidise slow release paracetamol for that use.
