If clinicians continue opioid therapy in patients with previous opioid overdose, they should discuss increased risks for overdose with patients; carefully consider whether benefits of opioids outweigh substantial risks; and incorporate strategies to mitigate risk into the management plan, such as offering naloxone (see Offering Naloxone to Patients), involving patient-identified trusted family members, and increasing frequency of monitoring combined with shorter prescription durations (see Recommendation 7). Thiels CA, Ubl DS, Yost KJ, et al. Acetaminophen has limited evidence for effectiveness (8) and is no longer considered a first-line treatment for osteoarthritis (161).
