User Reviews for Arthrotec 50 oral

It has relived pain in my knee and hip.

Dr. took me off Naproxen & started me on Arthrotec. Relieves inflamation better, but not as good for pain so I have to take Tylenol. Relieves about 90% of pain & stiffnes, so at least I now get more sleep at night. Have to take Nexium for stomach but this is risk with ALL NSAID's.

I was taking tramadol 50mg twice daily along with 50mg of Arthrotec once daily (with food), in the evening which gave me enough relief to get a good nights sleep.

Seems to work well. I make sure I take it with food always, feel relief within an hour. I only use it occasionally though, due to the side effects.

This medication seems to not work well on the pain or stiffness of my knees especially. I have pain in my right thumb and the med. seems to disregard. I think there are too many side effects to continue taking this med.

The only medicine that has helped my arthritis. No side effects.

I took this medication because of a severe paint hat developed between my thigh and my butt area. Doctor was not sure if it was from an old injury. The medicine took the pain away, but I did develop some bleeding and stomach pains from the dosage. Had to be reduced to one pill a day with less frequent pain and bleeding. But it made my leg stop hurting so I am still on it until it is done.

It has been very effective since my doctor also put me on Nexium 40mg. No sore stomach since stating the Nexium.

Helped ease some of the pain.

I had shoulder pain and foot pain and it is completely gone.........unbelieveable in 2 days no pain

This medication caused liver damage for me. I only took it for 2 months and it was found on routine lab work. Took about a year for my liver to come back normal on labs.

I took this med for 4 days. My legs and feet became so swollen that the top of my feet turned red/hot and very painful to the touch. It got to the point I could not walk without much pain. I stopped taking the drug and it's been 5 days and I still have some swelling, pain, and reddness. Most NSAIDs do this to me but the doctors still are trying to find that one that will work. Don't know if I can take much more.

I have been using this drug for over 5 years and have found it to be very effective.

This medicine works better for me than Celebrex, which caused severe stomach aches and diarhea. Prior to taking it for knee problems, I was walking with a limp due to inflexibility and pain.

slight amount of blood in stool

iam scar to take this medication their's to many scarie side affects. i had a back surgery a pinch nerve

I have osteoarthritis of both knees. I recently (7 weeks ago) had total knee replacement on my right knee. My left knee was causing me a great deal of pain (I assume compensating for the recovery of the right knee) and was getting to be intolerable. I have only been taking it for a little over a week and the pain is greatly diminished. I have taken may arthritis-type medications, even Vioxx and never had the relief I have from this.

i was given this med while undergoing injections for my knee, seems to work well, but does give me a knotted feeling in my stomache for a few hours, but passes. not sure if i will continue after the injections are completed.

I suffered with arthritis in my legs for quite some time until my doctor suggested I try Arthrotec. I have used it off and on again for the last 5 years. I am satisfied with the results.
