What Is Arthrotec Used For?
The medication Arthrotec is prescribed for short-term and long-term use in providing relief from signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. This medication contains two active ingredients: diclofenac and misoprostol. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory medication (NSAID) which acts as a painkiller, reduces joint pain, stiffness, and swelling by decreasing the production of prostaglandins and control inflammation. Misoprostol is a drug that protects the lining of the stomach as a NSAID can cause damage to your stomach. Misoprostol replaces the prostaglandins that are lost when taking the NSAID medicine. It protects the thick mucus layer and reduces the acid in your stomach. This can help to protect your stomach from the NSAID. Arthrotec does not cure the illness or prevent it from worsening, but rather promotes suppression of inflammation and tissue-damaging effects resulting from inflammation. This medication can only relieve pain and reduce swelling as long as you continue to take it.
What Are The Possible Side Effects Of Arthrotec?
Arthrotec can lead to some undesirable reactions especially when used for a long time and in large doses. The common side effects of Arthrotec include drowsiness, tiredness, increased sensitivity to sunlight, sunburn, skin rash, skin blisters, redness, itching, or discoloration and vision changes on exposure to sunlight or sunlamps. In case you get a reaction from the sun, consult your healthcare provider immediately. Immediately consult your health care provider if you develop:
• Chills
• Fever
• Muscle pain
• Other flu-like symptoms, especially if they occur before or together with a skin rash.
The most common side effect of this medication is stomach upset such as indigestion, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain or diarrhea. Since misoprostol causes increased production of mucus, some patients might experience diarrhea. It is just a sign that the medicine is working. Usually, diarrhea goes away in two to three days, but if it persists for a week or more, contacts your doctor. While your body gets used to misoprostol, you may feel crampy pain in your stomach.
Some of the serious side effects of Arthrotec include bloody or black tarry stools, vomiting blood, shortness of breath, wheezing, tightness in chest, skin rash, hives, blurred vision, change in the amount or color of urine, jaundice, change in heart rate, change in blood pressure, heart failure, blood clot, blood infection, lung infection, dreams, seizures, changes in mood, Benign mass in the intestine, trouble with swallowing, pain while urinating, weight gain, swelling of lower legs, tiredness, loss of appetite and stiff neck, dizziness, light-headedness, hearing problems, agranulocytosis (with fever, chills, sore throat or mouth sores, flu-like symptoms, weakness), increased sensitivity or nerve pain and anemia.
