What is Diclofenac-Misoprostol?

Diclofenac-Misoprostol is a combination prescription tablet containing diclofenac, an NSAID, and misoprostol, a prostaglandin analog—designed to provide anti-inflammatory and analgesic relief for arthritis while protecting the stomach from the GI side effects that NSAIDs commonly cause. Diclofenac reduces pain and inflammation, while misoprostol replaces the protective prostaglandins that diclofenac's COX inhibition depletes in the gastric lining—reducing the risk of ulcers and GI bleeding. It's taken with food two to four times daily and is particularly appropriate for arthritis patients at higher risk for GI complications.

NSAID anti-inflammatory paired with GI protection

Diclofenac inhibits COX-1 and COX-2 to reduce prostaglandin-driven inflammation and pain, while misoprostol replenishes the gastric mucosal prostaglandins that diclofenac's COX-1 inhibition depletes—addressing both therapeutic need and its primary side effect.

Ulcer risk reduction

Misoprostol stimulates mucus and bicarbonate secretion and reduces gastric acid output, protecting the stomach and duodenal lining from the ulcerogenic effects of NSAID therapy—particularly important for older patients and those with prior GI history.

Convenience of co-formulation

Combining the NSAID and cytoprotective agent in a single tablet ensures both are taken together consistently—preventing the GI risk that arises when NSAID therapy is taken without gastroprotective coverage.
