This page explains what happens if Clopidogrel and Diclofenac are taken together, according to official sources.
Severe gastrointestinal bleeding risk
Diclofenac causes gastric mucosal ulceration while clopidogrel blocks platelet clotting, compounding severe gastrointestinal bleeding.
Avoid NSAIDs like diclofenac in patients on clopidogrel. Use paracetamol for analgesia and consult your doctor.
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about these two medicines; don't stop a prescribed medicine on your own.
