DICLOFENAC-MISOPROSTOL DR is a medication that combines two active ingredients, diclofenac and misoprostol. It is commonly prescribed to treat symptoms of arthritis, such as pain and inflammation. Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps reduce pain and inflammation, while misoprostol is a prostaglandin analog that helps protect the stomach lining from the potential side effects of diclofenac. This combination medication is typically taken orally and is available in delayed-release form to provide long-lasting relief. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult with a healthcare professional for proper usage and potential side effects.
Misoprostol is a medication that is used to prevent stomach ulcers in people who take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin and ibuprofen. It works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach and protecting the lining of the stomach from damage. Misoprostol is also used in combination with another medication called mifepristone to terminate early pregnancy. It is a synthetic prostaglandin E1 analog and is available in tablet form for oral administration.
