Long-term use of NSAIDs like diclofenac may increase the risk of cardiovascular events, especially in patients with pre-existing conditions.

Pharmacologically, diclofenac sodium inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase, thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins involved in the inflammatory process. This action helps alleviate pain and swelling associated with various inflammatory conditions.
