What is the most important information I should know about diclofenac
sodium gel and medicines called
Nonsteroidal Anti- inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)?
Diclofenac sodium gel is an NSAID medicine that is used on the skin
only (topical). Do not use
diclofenac sodium gel in or on the eyes. NSAIDs can cause serious side
effects, including:
•
Increased risk of a heart attack or stroke that can lead to death.
This risk may happen early in
treatment and may increase:
•
with increasing doses of NSAIDs
•
with longer use of NSAIDs
•
Do not take or use NSAIDs right before or after a heart surgery called
a “coronary artery bypass
graft (CABG)”.
•
Avoid taking NSAIDs after a recent heart attack, unless your
healthcare provider tells you to. You
may have an increased risk of another heart attack if you take or use
NSAIDs after a recent heart
attack.
•
Increased risk of bleeding, ulcers, and tears (perforation) of the
esophagus (tube leading from the
mouth to the stomach), stomach and intestines:
•
anytime during use
•
without warning symptoms
•
that may cause death
The risk of getting an ulcer or bleeding increases with:
•
past history of stomach ulcers, or stomach or intestinal bleeding with
use of NSAIDs
•
taking medicines called “corticosteroids”, “anticoagulants”,
“SSRIs”, or “SNRIs”
•
increasing doses of NSAIDs
•
longer use of NSAIDs
•
smoking
•
drinking alcohol
•
older age
•
poor health
