ARTHROTEC is a combination
product containing diclofenac sodium, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID),
and misoprostol, a drug that helps protect your stomach and duodenum from
ulcers that NSAIDs may cause. ARTHROTEC is approved for the treatment of
arthritis symptoms in patients at high risk of developing stomach ulcers due
to NSAIDs and their complications. ARTHROTEC contains misoprostol, which has
been shown to reduce the risk of developing an ulcer. However, bleeding,
ulceration, and perforation may still occur at anytime, with or without
warning symptoms, because of the diclofenac component.
