General Medication Fact Sheet for Arthrotec
| Field | Information |
|---|---|
| Medication Name | Arthrotec |
| Generic Name | Diclofenac/Misoprostol |
| Boxed/Label Warning | NSAIDs may increase the risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events, myocardial infarction, and stroke, which can be fatal. Misoprostol can cause abortion, premature birth, or birth defects if administered to pregnant women. |
| Purpose | To relieve the pain and inflammation of arthritis while helping to prevent stomach ulcers that can be caused by NSAIDs. |
| Mechanism of Action | Diclofenac inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing prostaglandin synthesis, thereby reducing pain and inflammation. Misoprostol is a synthetic prostaglandin E1 analog that protects the stomach lining. |
| Dosage Forms | Oral tablets |
| Available Strengths | 50 mg Diclofenac/200 mcg misoprostol, 75 mg Diclofenac/200 mcg misoprostol |
| Dosage Frequency | Typically two to three times daily, or as directed by a healthcare provider. |

| Drug Interactions | Other NSAIDs, aspirin, anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin), certain antidepressants (SSRIs), ACE inhibitors, diuretics. |
| Important Notes | Take with food and a full glass of water. Avoid use in pregnant women. Monitor for signs of gastrointestinal bleeding. Consult a doctor if you have heart, liver, or kidney problems. |
| Storage | Store at room temperature away from moisture and light. |
| Missed Dose | Take as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do not double the dose. |
| Alternatives | Diclofenac, Celecoxib, Naproxen, Ibuprofen. Consider a PPI (Proton Pump Inhibitor) alongside an NSAID for gastroprotection. |

| Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) | Non-selective COX inhibitor | Commonly used for mild to moderate pain relief; may be prescribed with a PPI for long-term use. |
