Arthrotec is a specialized medication developed to treat signs and symptoms associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, especially in patients at a higher risk of developing stomach ulcers from non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Arthrotec combines two active ingredients: diclofenac sodium, an NSAID that reduces pain and inflammation, and misoprostol, a prostaglandin that helps protect the stomach lining from the erosive effects of NSAIDs. This combination addresses both the discomfort of arthritis and the gastrointestinal risks associated with NSAID therapy.

Description

Arthrotec’s dual-component formula provides a balanced approach to arthritis treatment. Diclofenac sodium targets the enzymes involved in prostaglandin synthesis, effectively reducing arthritis-induced pain and inflammation. Concurrently, misoprostol acts as a synthetic prostaglandin E1 analog, promoting the production of gastric mucus and bicarbonate, which are crucial for protecting the stomach lining and reducing the risk of ulceration. This synergistic action makes Arthrotec a comprehensive treatment option for those requiring long-term NSAID therapy but who are at risk for gastrointestinal complications.

Special Precautions

Before starting Arthrotec, patients should discuss their full medical history with their healthcare provider, especially regarding any history of gastrointestinal disease, heart disease, liver or kidney conditions, or known allergies to diclofenac, misoprostol, or other NSAIDs.
