What is Arthrotec?
ARTHROTEC (diclofenac sodium/misoprostol) is a pill that contains medicine to relieve the signs and symptoms of arthritis pain, as well as protect your stomach from harmful side effects in patients at high risk for developing NSAID-induced gastric and duodenal ulcers and their complications. ARTHROTEC contains the #1-prescribed NSAID called diclofenac (dye-CLO-fen-ak), which is well known for reducing pain, swelling, and inflammation associated with arthritis. It also contains misoprostol (miss-o-PROS-tul) to protect your stomach.
