  "Diclofenac, like ibuprofen, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug or 'NSAID'. It is often prescribed after surgery and to combat arthritic pain, when ibuprofen is not strong enough.
  It can also be purchased over the counter at a pharmacy without a prescription, for example in the branded form of Voltarol Pain-eze tablets.
  But two years ago the Barts researchers found that it was linked with a 40 per cent increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
  That analysis crystallised the fears of many doctors, who have raised concerns about the drug for years.
  Another study, also published in 2011, indicated diclofenac raised the risk of dying from heart attack or stroke four-fold. "
