Diclofenac: One of several NSAID s. By prescription or OTC. Most popular are naproxen (Aleve) and ibuprofen (Motrin). All the NSAID meds carry a small risk of causing a heart attack. The one least likely to cause this is naproxen. All carry a risk of stomach bleeding. The least bleeding is with Celebrex (celecoxib). Sometimes there can be allergic reactions of various kinds.
