Common Questions and Answers about Diclofenac with misoprostol

arthrotec

Avatar f tn Arthrotec is a tablet containing a combination of diclofenac and misoprostol. Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain. Misoprostol reduces stomach acid and replaces protective substances in the stomach that are reduced by NSAIDs. Arthrotec is used to treat osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in people at high risk for developing stomach or intestinal ulcers.
653169 tn?1303446369 Does anyone have any experience with diclofenac? If so, does it work better than over the counter antiinflammatory drugs and does upset the stomach much?
Avatar f tn Is anyone on Diclofenac? I am on it for an orthopedic condition and have been on it almost 4 weeks. It works, but am unsure how long I will be on it. As short a time as possible, I hope,...but, I was wondering....for those with arthritis (which it usually prescribed for,,).....are you on it daily? As an ongoing medication? I hope to go off it to avoid risks with prolonged usage,but up to now...it has not caused me any problems.
Avatar n tn i have taken diclofenac for over 20 years with no side effects i have had to come off the tablets 75mg x twice day 4 days ago as I am showing some drying of kidneys from another mediation to ensure it is that one i have come off anything whih might affect me.
Avatar f tn Question. I have started taking Diclofenac 75mg x's 2 a day to try and see if a non narcotic medication may give me some relief long term with my rib pain. I have taken it for 2 weeks and at first I didn't think it was helping at all. Now I think 1 of 2 things either A) it's starting to build up in my system and is helping better or B) My ribs just happen to feel a bit better lately.
Avatar f tn Is this a common side effect to a small dose of misoprostol? I have had unprotected sex with my long term boyfriend since the insertion, with no pain, but am worried about: 1) infection 2) pregnancy 3) the length of time for misoprostol side effects to last. Is this normal?! I'm very uncomfortable.

1075912 tn?1266451286 I had a missed miscarriage over a month ago, but my uterus continued to grow and I still appeared pregnant with no signs or symptoms of miscarriage. An ultrasound revealed there was no heart beat. My doctor gave me Misoprostol on Monday and I had some bleeding and light cramping, but only passed 2 penny sized blood clots. The second day everything stopped. I had to wait 72 hours before I could take another dose. So on Thursday I tried it again.
Avatar f tn I took Misoprostol 2 times. The first m/c i was 8 weeks same as you. The doctor told me the same either to do D&C or wait for it. I took the pill and i started M/c a couple of hours after taking it. I bleed for 7 days. I think you will bleed until the tissue has passed out. For me the bleeding was ok it was the pain that it was bad. If you bleed for more than 10 days then see your doctor cause probraly not all the tissue has passed. I'm sorry for your loss I have been there 3 times.
640548 tn?1340553355 I posted a while back that my hcg levels and ultrasound weren't matching up with my dates. My Dr insisted I must have ovulated later than I thought, but I knew it wasn't possible because of my +hpt. I had to wait another 3 weeks for another u/s and when I went there was an empty sac hardly larger than 3 weeks before. Dr gave me misoprostol to take rather than a d&c to avoid risks of scarring. She said it would be like bad period cramps but oh my god...
981443 tn?1250115802 One cause is unusual conditions in the upper and middle GI tract such as that created by misoprostol and Arthrotec (misoprostol plus diclofenac), Amongst other things, misoprostol is a smooth muscle agent which both a contact and systemic mucousagogue which coats the stomach and adjacent areas with increasing amounts of mucus. This can result in everything from even slower onset of action to intact tablets being passed with stool.
1932259 tn?1332043513 Thanks so much for your replies. I'm still trying to be patient, and hope the pills worked, with a delayed response. Okay, it's been over 4 days, so of course I'm getting worried. Thanks for letting me know also what to look for, as I know it seems so crude to ask, I truly had no idea what to watch for.

Avatar n tn Medical termination of pregnancy(MTP) by pills(methotrexate,mesoprostol and mifiprestone) is effective only if pregnancy is less than seven weeks. Combination of misoprostol and misepristone are used .Mifepristone blocks progesterone and causes bleeding of the uterus while misoprostol causes contractions of the uterus resulting in miscarriage.
Avatar n tn i took one tablet of mifepristone 200mg on 7th oct at around 12.30 noon....n then on 8th oct at the same time i took 2 tablets of misoprostol (each 200 mcg)... After taking these two pills...within 1 hour my bleeding started and i felt a bit of pain in my stomach,legs n head...but nothing happened...so after 12 hours i.e on 8th midnight...i again took 2 tabs of misoprostol...but till now m not seeing any signs... m really tensed why it isnt working out.... could anyone let me know...
666089 tn?1260520261 so i have just started my prescription for misoprostol to help with my miscarriage because the tissue is not passing yet and it says after inserting the tablets it you should start contracting and having heavyer bleeding , But my question is how long should it take to pass the tissue?
