Used For:

 Arthrotec is commonly prescribed to manage symptoms of arthritis, specifically rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Diclofenac sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps relieve pain and reduce inflammation, while misoprostol is a prostaglandin analog that helps protect the stomach lining from irritation caused by NSAIDs.

Side Effects:

 Side effects of Arthrotec can vary, but may include gastrointestinal issues such as stomach pain, nausea, indigestion, diarrhea, or constipation. Other common side effects may include headache, dizziness, drowsiness, or skin rash. Serious side effects could include gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, kidney problems, or allergic reactions. Misoprostol can also cause uterine contractions and should not be used during pregnancy.

Precautions:

There are several precautions to consider when taking Arthrotec. It should not be used by pregnant women due to the risk of miscarriage or birth defects. Patients with a history of gastrointestinal ulcers or bleeding, kidney problems, or heart disease should use Arthrotec cautiously and under medical supervision. Long-term use of NSAIDs like diclofenac can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke. It's important to inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you're taking to avoid potential interactions.

As always, follow your doctor's instructions carefully when taking Arthrotec, and report any concerning side effects or symptoms promptly.
