Diclofenac / Misoprostol
Diclofenac/misoprostol is a combination medication that contains diclofenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain and inflammation, and misoprostol, a prostaglandin that helps protect the stomach lining from the potentially irritating effects of diclofenac. This combination is used to treat arthritis-related pain while reducing the risk of developing stomach ulcers.
How is this medication used?
This medication should be taken orally, usually as one tablet two to three times a day with food to minimize stomach upset. The exact dosage depends on the patient's medical condition and response to treatment. It's important to follow your doctor's instructions closely and not exceed the recommended dose or frequency.
What are the possible side effects?
Side effects can include stomach pain, diarrhea, gas, nausea, heartburn, and dizziness. More serious but less common side effects may include high blood pressure, kidney problems, liver damage, heart-related issues, and severe gastrointestinal complications, such as bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach or intestines. Notify your healthcare provider immediately if you experience any severe side effects.
What are the potential interactions?
This medication can interact with other medications, which can increase the risk of serious side effects. Specifically, it should not be used with other NSAIDs, anticoagulants like warfarin, certain antidepressants, or bisphosphonates. Alcohol and tobacco use can also increase stomach bleeding risks. Always inform your healthcare provider about all the medications and supplements you are taking to avoid adverse interactions.
