User Reviews for diclofenac-misoprostol oral

Used to take the brand name which is Arthrotec a number of years ago for my horrible herniated disc with sciatica pain shooting down my leg to my foot. That med worked great. Now taking this generic and it's causing severe reflux. I really need it for horrible mid back pain due to more serious problems, but can't tolerate it. Guess I will start taking my tylenol extra strength once again and using my tens unit to give me relief.

I have Osteoarthritis in my left hip. My pain was very unbearable when getting up from a sitting position, especially getting out of my car. After having x-rays done and trying Naproxen and Pregabalin, which didnâ??t help much, Diclofenac Sodium every 12 hours has given my life back! Very little side effects, but my urine now has an odor. A small meal and I MUST drink lots of fluids when taking this medication.

I absolutely cannot walk w/o extreme pain in my feet if I don't take my Diclofenac for several days. In order to keep getting my RX refilled it requires that I drink plenty of fluids and have my kidneys checked frequently.

Have been using this for over 5 years for osteoarthritis,neuropathy and fibromyalgia. It works great for me with no side effects. After stopping it for 3 days before surgery was a killer for me,couldn't walk or move. Definitely know it works.

This has been the only medication that keeps my arthritis symptoms in check - hips, back, knees, ankles, and toes. I take two a day - by about 3:00 my body starts to ache and creak, and then I take the second. The misoprostol really protects my stomach. Once I took the diclofenac only and it really affected my stomach. When I run out of this medication I'm crippled in about 24 hours.

I had frozen shoulder and after taking three of this tablet i got cured, i am so amazed !! I only used it for three days, but i had diarrheas and stomach upset after using this pill.

I have had diarrhea really bad with this medication.

Weird Stomach pains , nausea , vomiting had to stop using due to making me feel depressed as well

I have had more joint stiffness in my wrist and hands since I started taking it.

Took it for two weeks, 2 X a day. Little to no relief from pain.

After 1wk of bid dosing I had no pain but the s/e began, so I decreased it to daily & s/e became unbearable! Lethargy, swelling of my mouth, edema & weight gain.

Have not seen too much improvement with this drug. Side effects out weight using this drug.

it gives me relief like one hour after tasking it and would last for about 14 hours and the pain is back again

aused stomach pain and heartburn

What amount should I be taking???

vomiting,abdominal pain, severe nausea, weakness

Severe stomach pain had to stop using.

took the edge off the pain,but was not completely effective

I have been using this med for over 6 yrs and every time I stop taking it (for whatever reason) I am reminded how good it works! seems like effectiveness dissipates over time, but stopping use, then starting again seems to help. worried about long-term use.

i have taken this medication for several years now. it seems to be less effective. I asked my rhumatologist to increase the dose--he did but now that doesn't help either, i am afraid of the long term use of this medication . many days I hurt over my entire body and I am stiff ALL Day LONG.
