My mother has just been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and I have to admit that I'm a bit angry at her. I practically begged her to go see a doctor almost half a year ago, when the first signs of joint problems showed up, but she did not want to listen and now she has to use Arthrotec for the therapy. So, I need some comprehensive and accurate facts about this drug. Thanks.
This is a complex drug that should help your mother, even though it belongs to a group of non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs, it also has a prostaglandin components in it. That prostaglandin is there for dealing with the negative effects of the NSAID effect. It prevents ulcers occurring and keeps the lining of the stomach healthy.
