1 Large retrospective analyses of clinical data have repeatedly shown that diclofenac, similar as some selective COX-2 inhibitors, increases the propensity to experience adverse cardiovascular and atherothrombotic events. Diclofenac mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase II Homo sapiens
2 The reasons for this novel side-effect of diclofenac may be based on the specific pharmacology of diclofenac, which, similar to selective COX-2 inhibitors, alters vascular levels of platelet active prostaglandins in a way that favours arterial thrombosis. Diclofenac mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase II Homo sapiens
