Long-term tolerability of nimesulide and acetaminophen in nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug-intolerant patients.
Oral challenges are used to identify alternative nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for patients who react adversely to drugs of this class, but challenge conditions often differ from those in which the drug will actually be used. ⋯ Oral challenges can reliably predict long-term NSAID tolerability in patients with previous adverse reactions to other drugs of this class, except for patients with chronic urticaria.
