Abstract
paracetamol (14% to 18%) and newer coxib compounds (4% to 6%), with the use of opioids limited to a minority of cases (range 0 to 8% of cases). When asked about side effects, specialists seemed to be well aware of their incidence. The potential for side effects of NSAIDs at the gastrointestinal level was well-recognized by the majority of the specialists interviewed (61%), while the potential side effects of opioids (somnolence, etc) at the central nervous system level was indicated only by a minority of physicians (21%). Finally, and most interestingly, only a minority of specialists indicated that they had even a fair knowledge of law 38/2010 (16%), while more than one third of the specialists interviewed (34%) candidly declared their lack of knowledge of the law.
