It’s been long time since the last time I wrote here.
Today, one of the many things I learned from my tutor is about the use of diclofenac together with the misoprostol which come in same one product. This combination product is used to relieve pain and inflammation due to rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and postoperative pain.
The main reason for this combination is because diclofenac which is Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) may irritate the lining of the stomach despite its therapeutic use as painkiller and anti-inflammatory agent.
Meanwhile, the misoprostol (prostaglandin analogue) helps to protect the stomach lining from the irritation effect of diclofenac.
