Pain management in IgA vasculitis

IgAV: immunoglobulin A vasculitis; IV: intravenous; GI: gastrointestinal; NSAID: nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug.

* Total course duration is typically ≤2 months, but a slower taper may be required based upon patient symptoms.

¶ UpToDate contributors generally avoid use of NSAIDs or use them with particular caution in patients with existing or increased risk for cardiovascular, GI, or kidney disease. Concurrent gastroprotection (eg, a proton pump inhibitor) may be warranted.
