Fluid retention and swelling (especially in the ankles and legs), increased blood pressure and heart failure have been reported during treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Medicines such as Endolex may be associated with a small increased risk of heart attack ('myocardial infarction') or stroke ('cerebrovascular accident').
