Basic Information:
Arthrotec is a combination of diclofenac and misoprostol.
Diclofenac is a NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug).
Misoprostol is a synthetic prostaglandin which stimulates the
secretion of mucous in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby
reducing the development of ulcers of the stomach caused by
NSAIDS.
