WARNINGS, PRECAUTIONS & ADVERSE REACTIONS 5.1 Risk of Serious Cardiovascular and Gastrointestinal Events Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can cause an increased risk of serious cardiovascular (CV) thrombotic events, including myocardial infarction and stroke, which can be fatal.
This risk may occur early in treatment and may increase with duration of use.
NSAIDs, including diclofenac, can lead to new onset of hypertension, or worsening of preexisting hypertension, either of which may contribute to the increased incidence of CV events.
To minimize the potential risk for an adverse CV event in NSAID-treated patients, use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration possible.
Avoid the use of diclofenac sodium external in patients with a recent MI unless the benefits are expected to outweigh the risk of recurrent CV thrombotic events.
