See lessHow does diclofenac interact with other medications, such as anticoagulants or antihypertensives?
Diclofenac may reduce the efficacy of antihypertensives by inhibiting renal prostaglandins, leading to increased blood pressure. With anticoagulants, it heightens the risk of bleeding due to inhibited platelet aggregation. Monitoring and dosage adjustments are advisable.
