A member asked:
I take voltaren (diclofenac) 1x per day for inflammation in my right si joint, and it works well. should i be concerned about taking this long term?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: This modest dose of voltaren (diclofenac) carries relatively low risk. Your doctor will monitor blood work and blood pressure. The question of increased cardiac risk with long term use remains somewhat controversial.
