Arthrotec is a combination prescription tablet used to treat symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It is specifically prescribed for patients at high risk of developing stomach or intestinal ulcers.
How It Works:
It contains two active ingredients that work together to provide pain relief while protecting the digestive system:
- Diclofenac (NSAID): Reduces the substances in the body that cause inflammation, pain, and swelling.
- Misoprostol: A synthetic prostaglandin that reduces stomach acid and replaces protective substances in the stomach lining that are typically depleted by NSAIDs.
