Interaction Found

Taking diclofenac with warfarin increases your bleeding risk. Diclofenac is a pain reliever that can thin your blood when combined with warfarin, a blood thinner medication. This combination makes it harder for your blood to clot, which could lead to serious bleeding.

What to do: Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking diclofenac while on warfarin. Do not stop either medication without speaking to your doctor first. Your doctor may need to monitor you more closely or suggest a safer pain reliever alternative.
