Diclofenac is in a group of drugs called NSAID’s – nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. Misoprostol reduces stomach acid and replaces protective substances in the stomach. NSAID’s can harm the stomach if taken for long periods of time or if pre-existing stomach conditions exist. The combination of diclofenac and misoprostol is used to treat osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in people at high risk for developing stomach or intestinal ulcers.
Arthrotec 200/75 has been discontinued in Israel.
