Diclofenac Side EffectsLearn about the side effects of Voltaren and other NSAIDsDiclofenac side effects can be detrimental to your health, as can those of other anti-inflammatory drugs, many of which have been under fire recently. What is Diclofenac? Marketed under the name Voltaren, it is one of a class of traditional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories and is prescribed to treat osteoarthritis as well as rheumatoid arthritis and spondylitis. Unfortunately, although it can be helpful there are many possible side effects of Voltaren that you should be aware of before you beging taking this drug. As you might know, the newer class of NSAIDs called COX-2 inhibitors have been the subject of much controversy due to increase risk of heart attack and stroke...even leading to the recall of the most popular one, Vioxx. Bextra and Celebrex are currently under the microscope as well! The problem is all of these drugs work similarly, and as such could cause the same health problems...let's take a look at some of the Diclofenac side effects listed on the prescribing information sheet: The side effects of Voltaren could include "serious gastrointestinal effects" such as inflammation, bleeding, ulceration and perforation of the stomach with or without warning. Voltaren side effects could also include liver problems, with rare cases of severe hepatic reactions, jaundice and hepatic failure...fatal reactions have even been reported. Kidney problems and anemia are other potential problems, as well as fluid retention and edema. So you can see that diclofenac sodium side effects can be quite serious, and could lead to severe health conditions or even death. That's why you might be better off with a natural alternative to Voltaren and other NSAID arthritis medications.
