Used For

• The combination of Diclofenac Sodium (an NSAID) and Misoprostol (a prostaglandin analog) is used to relieve pain and inflammation while simultaneously protecting the stomach lining from the potential gastrointestinal side effects associated with NSAIDs. This combination is particularly useful for patients who require long-term NSAID therapy, such as those with arthritis, and are at risk for developing gastric ulcers.

Side Effects

• Common: Nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, headache, dizziness, and flatulence.
• Serious: Gastrointestinal bleeding, severe allergic reactions (such as rash, itching, swelling), kidney problems, and in rare cases, cardiovascular events (heart attack or stroke) especially with long-term use.

Precautions

• Medical Conditions: Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease, high blood pressure, liver or kidney disease, gastrointestinal disorders (such as peptic ulcers or inflammatory bowel disease), or asthma.
• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Misoprostol can induce contractions and is contraindicated in pregnancy for non-medical use. Consult a healthcare provider if pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Alcohol Consumption: Limit alcohol intake, as it can increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding when taking NSAIDs.
• Drug Interactions: Notify your doctor about all medications you are taking, particularly other NSAIDs, blood thinners, and medications affecting kidney function, as they may interact with this combination. Regular monitoring of renal function may be necessary for long-term users.
