What are the potential side effects associated with diclofenac, including gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and renal risks and how can these be minimized?
Diclofenac can cause gastrointestinal issues like ulcers and bleeding, increase cardiovascular risks such as heart attack and stroke, and impair kidney function. To minimize these, use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration, stay hydrated, and avoid use with other NSAIDs or in patients with pre-existing conditions.
