can i take arthrotec if i am alergic to sulfas ## Hi ron, I have found no reports stating that Arthrotec contains sulfa. This medication is a combination of an ulcer protective agent called misoprostol and the NSAID diclofenac; neither of which contain sulfa nor carry any contraindications to use in patients allergic to sulfa(s). Did you have any other questions or concerns regarding this medication? Please post back if you do.

I just saw a tv promo for arthro d, claiming after 5 weeks, cartliage starts to regrow? Is this a scam? Why do ppl victimize other ppl with health problems? ## Arthri D is a supplement, therefore it has not been tested and actually proven to help with ANYTHING. They cannot promise to regrow cartilage. The same is true of most supplements on the market, they have not been tested and proven to actually help with any medical condition. They do have a website and they list the ingredients as: Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Magnesium, NAG, Chondroitin, Termeric, Rice Flour, Boswella, Ashwagandha, Bromelain, Evening Primrose Oil, Green Lipped Muscle and Hyaluronic Acid. Do you have any other questions? ## can this be taken along with coumadin? ## If this is true, how in the world are they allowed to p...

I seem to be doing fine with the xarelto, but my arthritis is killing me without my prescription pain reliever, Arthrotec. Does anyone take arthrotec with Xarelto? If not, what pain killer can I take? I tried an opiod and it made me foggy and unsteady on my feet. I am sensitive to meds and arthrotec really helped me, which is why I miss it so much. ## Hi Judy, According to umm.edu's drug interaction checker, there ARE interactions listed between Xarelto (Rivaroxaban) and Arthrotec (Diclofenac sodium). The interaction goes on to state that taking these two drugs together may increase your risk of bleeding. Furthermore, they recommend contacting your doctor as soon as possible if you experience any of the following side effects, such as long lasting nose bleeds, dark or bloody vomit, ...

bursitis ## I have terrible pain in my knees so I consulted an orthopaedic and he has prescribed rotec t5 after an x'ray. I just want to know the side effects of this medicine and whether I should go for other tests? ## Arthrotec contains Diclofenac, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, and Misoprostol, which is used to help protect the stomach from the damage that the Dicolfenac could potentially cause. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, and increased risk of bleeding. It is often prescribed to help with such conditions, because it can reduce the inflammation that contributes to the pain these conditions can cause. Parwez, what diagnosis did he provide after viewing the x-rays and doing an exam? It is always your option to see another doctor for anoth...

Can I take arthrotec and rivocacet at the same time? ## Sorry the name of it is spelled rivacocet ## Arthrotec contains the active ingredients Diclofenac and Misoprostol, it couples a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory with a medication to prevent it from causing gastrointestinal damage. Learn more Diclofenac details here. Learn more Misoprostol details here. Rivacocet contains the active ingredients Oxycodone and Acetaminophen, so it's a narcotic analgesic. Learn more Rivacocet details here. And yes, they are sometimes used together to help someone get better pain control, since they aren't in the same drug classes. However, if your doctor has instructed you not to combine them, then there may be reasons for that and you should follow their instructions. Additionally, you should kn...

Will taking diclofenac/misoprostol separately (generics for the drugs in Arthrotec) be as effective as taking them combined as one pill. It will be much less expensive to take 2 generics. ## It's possible, but hard to say, have you tried asking your doctor or pharmacist about this? The Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and the Misoprostol is there, really, just to help protect your stomach from the irritation and damage it may cause. Some of the most common side effects of using this include: nausea, drowsiness, headaches and diarrhea. You can read more about them here: Is there anything else I can help you with? ## Absolutely not! My insurance company would not pay for the arthrotec75 because the two items could be obtain generically. The seperate pills, diclofenac and...

Until Dec 2016 I have been taking Arthrotec for years and never had a problem. Walmart will not take my plan D Envision RX Plus and so I switched to Walgreens which will. I am allergic to sulfa, sulfite, etc. and when I got Walgreens Arthrotec I got sick and had a blood clot. I ended up on Coumadin for probably the rest of my life and the doctor does not want me to take Arthrotec. Does Walgreens get their Arthrotec from Canada or some place that has a filler with sulfa? Arthrotec has worked for the pain of osteoarthritis and I do not want to have to go in the hospital again or give up the Arthrotec. They have told me to use Tylenol but it is useless. ## Hello Barb, I realize it's been one month since you asked this question and I don't have a direct answer for you. What I will s...

There are generics available for the drugs that are in arthrotec and I am wondering if it will be as effective if I take them separately. It would be a lot less expensive. ## You can find Arthrotec 50 for about $ .50 per pill versus approximately 8 times that price from an americam drug company. These are made by Pharmicia Limited (a Pfizer subsidery) ## Yes, taking them separately will still work the same as taking them combined in one medication. It is often done, if it is cheaper for someone than buying the combined, or name brand medication. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. Arthrotec is listed as containing Diclofenac and Misoprostol. Is there anything else I can help with?
