Arthrotec is tablet made up of Diclofenac and Misoprostol delivered in 50 mg or 75 mg doses. Diclofenac is apart of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) family along ibeoprofin and naproxen. NSAID's are meant to reduce inflammation, reduce pain and fever. Misoprostol also know as Cytotec is useful in the treatment and prevention of stomach ulcers, it can help induce labor, or be used to cause an abortion.

When combined into a tablet and delivered as Arthrotec, the Diclofenac helps treat symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis while the Misoprostol protects the stomach lining against potential irritability caused by the NSAID Diclofenac. The combination of the two medicines can be ideal for treating patients who have rheumatoid arthritis and have a possibility of developing stomach ulcers from long term use of NSAID's.

 

Arthrotec is taken orally with a full glass of water. It is recommended that this medication be taken with food to avoid an upset stomach or diarrhea. Make sure to swallow the tablets whole without breaking apart the tablet or letting it dissolve. The dosage and schedule is based on your doctors diagnosis. In some cases patients will take the 50 mg tablet of Arthrotec three times a day, while some patients will take the 75 mg tablet twice a day. Because the dose schedule and size is dependant on the patients diagnosed condition, explicitly follow the dose instructions for this medication, or speak with your doctor/pharmasist for clarification.

Advise you doctor of any known allergies before taking Arthrotec as diclofenac and misoprostol could cause allergic reactions, especially if the patient has allergies to aspirin or any other form of NSAID's. Kidney problems could be exasperated or develop with use of Arthrotec, and it is advised to work with your doctor to uncover previous medical conditions and current medications to ensure no complications arise when taking Arthrotec. 

Smoking and drinking alcohol could lead to stomach bleeding, and it is advised to limit the intake of alcohol and stop smoking while taking Arthrotec. Additional you may speak with your doctor or pharmacist to clarify an acceptable limit of alcohol during your treatment with Arthrotec.
