My husband has been dealing with rheumatoid arthritis for a year and until now there was not any problem. But recently he started complaining about stomach pain, not always, just occasionally, but it was enough for him to go see a doctor. He was ordered to take Arthrotec 75 orally and I guess I am just afraid for the possible interactions with Celebrex he takes for RA.
You should not be afraid because Arthrotec is there to help with the side effects that occurred because of the prolonged usage of NSAID, Celebrex. One of the most known symptoms is stomach ulcers. I must admit that he developed these symptoms relatively fast, so he does need extra meds to help him. If he continues to experience same problems, he should consult his doctor again.
