A member asked:

What is the effects of taking diclofenac and mefenamic acid on mild/moderate pulmonary hypertension? what are contraindicated meds in this case also?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Do not use: Diclofenac carries significant cardiac risks and should not be used. I would urge avoidance of all NSAIDs.
