Some drugs used to treat depression can cause you to bleed or bruise too easily if you combine them with Voltaren. Tell your doctor if you are taking drugs for depression, such as:

• citalopram (Celexa)
• duloxetine (Cymbalta)
• escitalopram (Lexapro)
• fluoxetine (Prozac, Sarafem, Symbyax)
• fluvoxamine (Luvox)
• paroxetine (Paxil)
• sertraline (Zoloft)
• venlafaxine (Effexor)
