NSAIDs such as diclofenac can cause ulcers and bleeding in the stomach or bowel, and raise the risk of heart attack and stroke. Do not take it after a recent heart attack unless your doctor says so, and tell your doctor about any heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, stomach ulcers or bleeding problems first (MedlinePlus). The lowest dose for the shortest time is the rule.
