ARTHROTEC TB 50MG

Arthrotec TB 50mg is a combination medication that contains two active ingredients: diclofenac sodium (50mg), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and misoprostol, a prostaglandin analog. This medication is primarily used to treat the symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in patients who are at risk of developing stomach ulcers from NSAIDs.

Diclofenac helps reduce inflammation, pain, and stiffness associated with arthritis, while misoprostol helps protect the stomach lining by reducing the production of stomach acid, thereby lowering the risk of developing ulcers. Arthrotec is typically taken as prescribed by a healthcare provider, often one or two times a day with food to further minimize gastrointestinal side effects. Regular monitoring may be necessary to ensure the medication is effective and to manage any potential side effects, such as gastrointestinal discomfort or cardiovascular risks associated with NSAIDs.
