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...

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...

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.
