Arthrotec (active ingredients: diclofenac and misoprostol) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis: Arthrotec is used for the relief of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, including pain, inflammation, and joint stiffness.
  2. Prevention of Gastric Ulcers: It is indicated for reducing the risk of gastric ulcers in patients at high risk of developing NSAID-associated gastric ulcers.

Arthrotec combines a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), diclofenac, with misoprostol, a synthetic prostaglandin E1 analog. Diclofenac provides anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, while misoprostol helps protect the stomach lining by reducing acid secretion and increasing protective mucus production.

To take Arthrotec, swallow the tablets whole with a full glass of water (8 ounces/240 milliliters), unless otherwise instructed by your doctor. After taking the medication, do not lie down for at least 10 minutes to help prevent stomach upset. Avoid crushing, chewing, or dissolving the tablets, as this can increase the risk of side effects. Additionally, take Arthrotec with food to further reduce the risk of stomach issues and diarrhea.

To ensure the safe and effective use of Arthrotec, take it on a regular schedule as directed by your doctor. Following a consistent dosing schedule can help you avoid missing any doses. Do not make any changes to your dosing or the duration of treatment without discussing it with your doctor. Even if you begin to feel better, continue taking Arthrotec as prescribed and do not stop taking it abruptly without first consulting your doctor.

Based on the search results, the recommended dosages of Arthrotec vary depending on the medical conditions being treated, the patient’s response to treatment, and any other medications being taken. Here are some dosage recommendations from the search results:
