Drug Interaction :
Deterioration in renal function has been attributed to the concomitant use of Diclofenac and triamterene or cyclosporin. As with other NSAIDs Diclofenac Sodium is likely to inhibit the activity of the diuretics. Concomitant treatment with potassium diuretics may increase the serum potassium levels. Plasma concentrations of lithium or digoxin are increased when these drugs are given together with Diclofenac Sodium.

Cholestyramine appears to reduce the biovailability of Diclofenac Sodium when the two given together.

Concomitant administration of systemic NSAIDs and / or glucocorticoids may increase the risk of side effects.

Monitoring of patents is required when Diclofenac Sodium is given along with anticoagulants. As with other NSAIDs Diclofenac Sodium in high doses may temporarily inhibit platelet aggregation. Blood levels of menthotrexate may risk and toxicity may increase if Diclofenac Sodium is administration less than 24 hours before or after the treatment with methotrexate.
