A member asked:
I was hospitalized for heart & blood pressure (215/101) from taking diclofenac 2 years for psoriatic arthritis. is there something safer to take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tylenol (acetaminophen) or topical: Tylenol/acetaminophen has no effect on blood pressure. Also, there are topical antiinflammatories such as diclofenac gel/cream and others made by compounded pharmacies that have limited systemic absorption and rarely increase bp.
