ARTHROTEC TB 75MG

Arthrotec TB 75mg is a combination medication that includes diclofenac sodium (75mg), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and misoprostol, a prostaglandin analog. This medication is used to treat symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, particularly in patients who are at higher risk of developing stomach ulcers from NSAID use.

Diclofenac works by reducing inflammation, pain, and stiffness associated with arthritis, while misoprostol helps protect the stomach lining by reducing stomach acid production, thereby lowering the risk of gastrointestinal ulcers. The 75mg dosage of diclofenac provides stronger anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects compared to the 50mg version. Arthrotec is usually taken as prescribed by a healthcare provider, typically once or twice daily with food to help minimize gastrointestinal side effects. Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider is important to monitor the medication's effectiveness and manage any potential side effects, such as gastrointestinal issues or cardiovascular risks associated with long-term NSAID use.
