Special populations
Established cardiovascular disease or significant cardiovascular risk factors
The use of high dose diclofenac (150mg/day) for more than 4 weeks is contraindicated in patients with established cardiovascular disease (congestive heart failure, established ischemic heart disease, peripheral arterial disease) or uncontrolled hypertension. If diclofenac treatment is needed, patients with established cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled hypertension or significant cardiovascular risk factors (e.g. hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, diabetes mellitus and smoking) should be treated only after careful consideration and at doses ≤ 100 mg daily if the treatment is for more than 4 weeks. As the cardiovascular risks of diclofenac may increase with dose and duration of exposure, diclofenac should always be prescribed at the lowest effective daily dose and for the shortest duration possible.

CONTRAINDICATIONS: Diclofenac Potassium is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to Diclofenac. Diclofenac Potassium should not be given to patients who have experienced asthma, urticarial, or other allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other Non Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs. Severe, rarely fatal, anaphylactic-like reactions to Diclofenac have been reported in such patients.

The use of high dose diclofenac (150mg/day) for more than 4 weeks is contraindicated in patients with established cardiovascular disease (congestive heart failure, established ischemic heart disease, peripheral arterial disease) or uncontrolled hypertension.
